Longtermism

----Up until recently, there was no name for the cluster of views that involved concern about ensuring the long-run future goes as well as possible. The most common language to refer to this cluster of views was just to say something like ‘people interested in x-risk reduction’. There are a few reasons why this terminology isn’t ideal:forum.effectivealtruism.org
In October 2017, I proposed the term ‘longtermism’, with the following definition:
“Longtermism =df the view that the most important determinant of the value of our actions today is how those actions affect the very long-run future.” --- William MacAskillforum.effectivealtruism.org
