Thanks, Ryan - that sounds interesting!  We have not considered getting involved in this space. It would be great to chat to better understand what this service would involve in your view. (DM’d)

Adding to your general point: 

Purely academically speaking, "Zukunftsschutz" lacks precision: "Longtermism is the view that positively influencing the longterm future is a key moral priority of our time."

Someone believing in longtermism may want to engage in "Zukunftsschutz", but the latter seems to be downstream from the former (a moral stance vs. an activity)

Not every believer in longtermism may want to engage in "Zukunfsschutz", not every "Zukunfsschützer" may believe in longtermism. 

Langzeitismus 

  • Gut als Adjektiv nutzbar "aus langzeitischer Perspektive", "das langzeitistische Denken"
  • Erkennbar ähnlich dem englischen Begriff
  • Neu und spezifisch (überlappt nicht mit existierenden Konzepten)
  • Klingt exotisch, aber wenn man das Wort 10x sagt, dann merkt man das nicht mehr

Eine Eindeutschung zu Longtermismus (von Marcel Steimke vorgeschlagen) fände ich aus den selben 4 Gründen auch sinnvoll.
