Patient Philanthropy seems like the general category. Not all of it will be about the debate as to whether it’s right, but it seems like a tag that encompasses questions like, “given that I want to give later, how do I do that” seems good.
Thanks for highlighting patient philanthropy as an option, and good point that it’d be good for this tag to not just be about the debate but also how to implement the patient approach.
I’ve now made this tag, though with the name Patient Altruism. I haven’t heard that term used, but it makes sense to me as a generalisation of patient philanthropy to also account for how to use work, not just how to use donations. I’ve now also written a shortform post arguing for the term.
One worry I have is that by saying Patient Altruism rather than Patient vs Urgent Altruism, this tag puts virtuous connotations on one side but not the other. But the version with “vs Urgent” is longer, it perhaps doesn’t as naturally include posts about how to take the patient approach, and I’ve only heard the term “urgent longtermism”, not “urgent philanthropy” (though I do suggest use of the terms “urgent philanthropy” and “urgent altruism” in that shortform post).
