We cannot know what Musk actually believes, of course. He claims that longtermism is “a close match for my philosophy,” and has made other statements suggesting he’s a longtermist (see question #3). However, it is possible that tech billionaires like Musk came across longtermism and realized that it provides a superficially plausible moral excuse for what they want to do anyways: colonize space, merge our brains with AI, and so on, while ignoring the plight of the global poor.

Longtermism and the other TESCREAL ideologies naturally appeal to tech billionaires because these ideologies tell them exactly what they want to hear: not only are you excused from caring about “non-existential” risks like global poverty, but you are a morally better person for focusing on space colonization, jumpstarting the next stage of human evolution, etc.

Losing consciousness for any reason = ER. A friend passed out during dinner and we weren't sure what to do, so we called the triage nurse and they were like "ER now!" (He was fine, they never figured out what happened and it's never happened again, but it's definitely stayed with me.)

Great criteria. Another "straight to the ER" one is loss of consciousness; people get knocked out in movies all the time so it's easy to assume it's fine, but it's not.

The official trying to tear off her number isn't a runner; he's the guy in black shoes with his head barely poking above her right shoulder. The runner to her right in the photo looks like he's pushing her, but he's pushing the official.
