@fkamiah17 @PJ_Evans @jamesgraham @Greenseer And then there's this.
Worth the read.
This bunch work very well with the #Longtermists, #Posthumanists etc, having common cause, tho from different perceptions & angles.

"Even if billions..perish in the coming climate catastrophe... we shouldn’t be too concerned"

As for us?
They're happy to "let nature take its course" for us via plagues, poverty, climate disasters & pre-emptive wars.

When talking about #longtermism it's utterly crucial to remember that we're not talking about FUTURE people, we're talking about HYPOTHETICAL people.

'Future' presumes they're actually going to happen. In fact the likelihood of any scenario remotely resembling the #longtermist future is vanishingly small.

So #longtermists are willing to sacrifice billions of now-living people for a bizarre, essentially counter-factual fantasy.

Re "For better or worse, billionaires now guide climate policy"

Yep

With the #Longtermists among them telling us we must be sacrificed for the greater good...

Truly psychopathic. Truly dangerous.

#longtermists on #existentialrisk, throwing out random odds that they pull out of their butt, remind me of a line by #CharlesSeife: “If you want to get people to believe something really, really stupid, just stick a number on it.” That is #Ord, #Macaskill and #Beckwith in a rap.
