- (i) longtermism, which designates an ethical view that is particularly concerned with ensuring long-run outcomes go well; (ii) strong longtermism, which, like my original proposed definition, is the view that long-run outcomes are the thing we should be most concerned about; (iii) very strong longtermism, the view on which long-run outcomes are of overwhelming importance.
