Spatterings of Latin
I can’t think of one single post where this is a serious issue. There may be exceptions that I ignore, but generalizing this is exaggerated.

Was the winner ‘efflorescence’ or ‘peripeteia’?
Great article! Another thing I just realized: I dislike the clock metaphor. It seems to suggest that we will eventually reach midnight, no matter what. Perhaps a time bomb (which can be deactivated) would be a better illustration.
Kelsey Piper has written an excellent article on different ways to help Ukrainians, including how to donate directly to the Ukrainian military. But she wisely points out that “[s]uch donations occupy a tricky ethical and even legal area… A safer choice would be to direct money to groups that are providing medical assistance on the ground in Ukraine, like Médecins Sans Frontières or the Ukrainian Red Cross.”
I think this is very useful. Added.
Added. This is a great contribution. Thanks a lot!
I like that one very much, but I stopped listing posts in March, that’s why it is not included. Thanks anyway.
Could anyone help me downvote the ‘Job listing (open)’ tag? Applications closed two days ago. Thanks

But I think the best is the already proposed ‘Langzeitethik’.
All of these are arguably either neglected or less-discussed, or at least that’s what the posts discussing these causes suggest. I suppose the same goes for your posts (I just didn’t have the time to read them in detail yet) and that’s why I lean towards including them.
I’ll add them soon, thanks! Yes, you’re right about the beneficial influence of improving institutional decision-making over other causes. This is something that occurs very frequently between other causes as well (though not always, as the meat eater problem has shown). I look forward to reading that post.
There is a rough draft. I’ll try to update it and let you know.
Added. Thanks!
I’m not updating this anymore. But your post made me curious. I will try to read it shortly.
Here (https://thehumaneleague.org/animals) you’ll find many articles on the subject. For example, this one: What really happens on a chicken farm.
I think the first link should be https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=longtermism

Thanks for raising this point. I agree that such category could include enhancements not strictly limited to “being smarter”. I think this is a legitimate cause area, but I’m not sure if I would include Magnus’s excellent post. I just don’t feel he is proposing this as a cause area. . . Anyway, the real reason I didn’t include it was far more trivial: It was published in April and this update is supposed to cover up to March. I’m thinking about ways of extending the limit and keeping this up to date on a regular basis.
It has happened to me that when trying to make an edit I accidentally click ok on the warning that says “We’ve found a previously saved state for this document, would you like to restore it?”, thus restoring an old version of the article and reverting someone else’s edits.
Here is an even more ambitious one:
