Okay, thanks for clarifying. I still haven’t read Robin Hanson on Near vs. Far (nor do I have much interest in doing so) but based on your characterization of Far, I would say that I believe that it’s important to strike a balance between Near vs. Far. I don’t really understand what part of my comment orthogonal is/was objecting to—maybe the issue is linguistic/semantic more than anything else.
