Longtermism which doesn't care about Extinction - Implications of Benatar's asymmetry between pain and pleasure
Thank you for your input! I agree with the point about co-operation with other value systems.
EDIT: as MichaelStJules pointed out, I think I was also mixing up existential risks (a broader term) with extinction risks (a narrower term).

Not enough industry-specific EA networks / industry-specific EA networks aren't active / visible enough.
Growth and the case against randomista development
Could it be better to consider median income rather than GDP per capita (a mean) when thinking about the welfare of individuals, given how skewed income distributions are?
Yes I am, thank you! I'll edit the post to clarify this. That would also explain the EA Survey considering X-risks and the Long-term future to be one category.
