In a misleading editorial about longtermism, Phil Torres makes this claim. What is he talking about?
Also, what happened to the guy who wrote "Morality, Foresight, and Human Flourishing: An Introduction to Existential Risks" that turned him into an enemy of EA?
FYI, your first link ("misleading editorial about longtermism") directs me back to this post instead of to the editorial.
Thanks, fixed!
