Re:The Dangerous Ideas of “Longtermism” and “Existential Risk” by tomrod on Tuesday August 03, 2021 @05:42PM (#28054594)
How fascinating that, in the middle of this war of philosophies criticizing long-term thinking, a huge advertisement for print copies interrupt both the article and the claims.

I align with Bostrom, personally, as in my view we should structure our society for long-term outcomes -- even if it means we have to save resources now (which makes people uncomfortable). I would think that this is orthogonal to some of the immediate issues stemming from things like wealth inequality.
