longtermism

A four-panel comic. A man and a woman stand talking. Panel 1: the man asks, "Do you think we should be longtermist? Care about issues in the far distant future?" The woman replies, "Nah." Panel 2 (close-up on the woman in glasses): "Like, maybe it'd be good, but I'm not even capable of acting right for my own future." Panel 3: "I've had nachos for three meals today, and it's only two o'clock. What can I plausibly offer people living around Proxima Centauri in the year 10,000?" Panel 4 (the pair seen small at the end of a long hallway): she adds, "I mean like helping the environment," and he answers, "Didn't we already use that up?" Votey: A blue sky with white clouds and a small cracker or cookie floating in it. A large speech bubble coming from above (an unseen, godlike speaker) says, "Now to create some freaks who invent new languages."
