Thank you for your thoughts, and welcome to the forum! I recently posted my first post as well, which was on the same issue (although approached somewhat differently) It is at https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/xvsmRLS998PpHffHE/concerns-with-longtermism. I have other concerns as well with longtermism, even though, like you, I certainly recognize that we need to take future outcomes into account. I hope to post one of those soon. I would welcome your thoughts.
