Yeah I basically agree with that. I think pasttermism is basically interesting because there are plausibly some very low hanging fruit, like respecting graves, temples and monuments. The scope seems much smaller than longtermism.
Has this low-hanging fruit remained unpicked, however? I feel like “respecting graves, temples, and monuments” is already something most people do most of the time. Are there particularly neglected things you think we ought to do that we as a society currently don’t?
