“Long-termism” is an ugly, ugly REGRESSIVE ideology, that excuses any horror, any sociopathic behavior and any atrocity in the present.
It is warped and evil and sounds like an updated revision of Mein Kampf as conceived by a technocrat.
The Twitter deal needs to be stopped.

@TheAbbotTrithemius I read this and it paints an ugly future. I am very scared for the the kind of country and world that I have brought kids into.
Same.
Long-termism is a kind of enslavement not only to some abstract future, but to people like Musk who envision themselves as visionary figures.
All for space travel/exploration etc, but doing right by an evolved future human race needs to perhaps. start by fixing planet earth? Just a thought…
This is as batshit as any other cultish movement and like many of those will most likely implode under the weight of its own lunatic arrogance and hubris.
