  3. Em, it is not true. Actually the opposite is true, every time someone gets reluctant to have necessary sacrifices, it leads to fall of this tribe/population

  4. Ok, let's be quick. Firstly, no one would give money to Pascal's mugger because propability of somebody being a mugger while being actually very rich is de-facto zero. Add to that the fact that he initially wanted to take your money without paying back, and if he's rich, he can just return home and use his money. For those who disagree, imagine that instead someone dressed as businessman would ask you to give him money because he forgot his wallet and phone, and ran out of gas. Most people would give money to such guy, as long as it's a reasonable amount. Secondly, I think Longtermists overestimate the risk of certain things, like asteroids(all big ones are tracked), nuclear war(not enough bombs to destroy civilization) or AI(almost certainly won't exceed human performance before we learn how to digitalise our consciousness)
