“Long-term thinking” (ordinary usage version, not the longtermism cult) strikes me as a “lazy thoughtfulness” meme repeated by people who haven’t actually thought at all about temporal horizons but want to signal they’re on the side of wisdom and thoughtfulness over impulsivity and weakness of character

Long term games (stay in the game) feels like a better frame. Forces you to stay focused on short term anyway.

Yeah that’s fair. I actually had reposted something sort of adding to the long term games thing. 

The audience capture thing was a bit weird.  I guess the “game” frame seems intriguing - only passively listened it

It does seem people are all dunking on social media in a very narrow way all over the place now.

I saw post you shared on substack. Didn’t like it. Conscientious but not even wrong. Mis-analysis of Kacyzinski as though his problem was audience capture of a sound critique. Basic presumptions of decline and evil attention capture is bs. Reads like NRx-lite apologia for “real terrorism has never been tried”??
