A bit of nice discussion/exploration about longtermism over on the AskPhilosophy subreddit. The short summary might be something like ‘don’t conflate longtermism with caring about future generations.’ Since the EA forum seems to be mostly focused on things other than helping people understand philosophy, I thought it might be nice to share some stuff focused on that.
I’ve been thinking about creating an EA Reddit account to contribute to EA-related discussions on there. This has prompted me to get round to it finally.
