> I definitely agree with your second paragraph, however, and people who value current lives more than future lives will often come to different philosophical conclusions. Trying to sidestep common arguments about the personalities, but I guess an example would be an ideal-version-of-Bill-Gates, and an ideal-version-of-Elon-Musk. Gates Foundation mission statement seems more weighted to current lives, while Musk is more oriented toward multi-planetary existence of future generations. Still some overlap though, Musk's can also be argued to be relevant for current generations.
