According to some moral views, the most important consequences of our actions may be their indirect effects and repercussions in the long-term. This poses a challenge for effective altruism, since we need to choose between actions, yet their repercussions may be extremely hard to predict. In this workshop I'll present some perspectives on how to evaluate strategies for their consequences on existential risk or other long-term effects. We'll then attempt explicit comparisons between actions in small groups.
