Philosophical view which prioritises the long-term future
Comparing the number of human lives in the past and present
Longtermism is the ethical view that positively influencing the long-term future is a key moral priority of our time.[1] It is an important concept in effective altruism and serves as a primary motivation for efforts that claim to reduce existential risks to humanity.[1]
The key argument for longtermism has been summarized as follows: "future people matter morally just as much as people alive today;... there may well be more people alive in the future than there are in the present or have been in the past; and... we can positively affect future peoples' lives."[2] These three ideas taken together suggest, to those advocating longtermism, that it is the responsibility of those living now to ensure that future generations get to survive and flourish.[3]
