Yellow (Daryl) comments on It seems that too much short-termism and too much long-termism are both often critiqued. So is what’s normal/​mainstream a medium-term view?

[Yellow (Daryl)]

If neartermism is within 30 years maybe
And longtermism is greater than 100,000,000,000,000,000 years,
What is the middle position? 50,000,000,000,000,015 years?
^this may not be the correct way to frame it, but also Will talks about how most positions lead to one of the extremes and it’s hard to find a middle place during their more recent 80k ep https://​​80000hours.org/​​podcast/​​episodes/​​will-macaskill-what-we-owe-the-future/​​
