== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Longtermism''' — The "View" that "Improving" the "Long-term Future" is a "Key Moral Priority" of our time.
* '''Existential Risk''' (X-Risk) — (Nick Bostrom). A "Risk" that "Threatens" to "Permanently" "Destroy" "Human Potential" (e.g., 'Nuclear War,' 'Super-Pandemic,' 'Misaligned AI').
* '''Derek Parfit''' — (See Article 112). The "Father" of Future Ethics: author of 'Reasons and Persons' (1984), who "Changed" how we think about "Identity" and "Future People."
* '''The Non-Identity Problem''' — Parfit's "Puzzle": if we "Change" our "Policy" (e.g. 'Climate Action'), the "People" who are "Born" in the future will be **"Different"** people. Can we "Harm" someone who "Wouldn't have existed" otherwise?
* '''William MacAskill''' — The "Modern Face": author of 'What We Owe the Future' (2022), who "Argues" for "Effective Altruism" (see Article 618) on a "Longtermist" scale.
* '''Moral Circle Expansion''' — (See Article 661). The "Historical Process" of "Including" "More Entities" (Slaves, Women, Animals, and now 'Future People') into our "Moral Consideration."
* '''Greatest Potential''' — The "Idea" that if humanity "Survives" for **1 Million Years**, the "Trillions" of "Lives" yet to be born "Dwarf" the "Billions" alive today.
* '''Intergenerational Justice''' — (See Article 664). The "Legal and Moral Obligation" to "Not" "Pass on" a "Destroyed Planet" to "Future Generations."
* '''Great Stagnation''' — The "Risk" that "Human Progress" (Social/Scientific) "Stops" "Permanently," "Preventing" a "Better Future."
* '''S-Risk''' (Suffering Risk) — A "Risk" that "Leads" to "Vast Amounts" of "Future Suffering" (e.g. 'Eternal Totalitarianism').
