Optimism matters. Example: Doomsday scenarios try to inspire cooperation. But by promoting short-term thinking, they actually prevent cooperation If we want people to cooperate, we need to play long-term games instead of short-term ones. We need optimistic long-term thinkers.

What you want isn’t long-term thinking (Seeing Like a State: everybody sucks at it, human brain can’t actually do it except in special cases), but non-terminal deliberative societies where there’s no such thing as a finished conversation. Only views that are argued for a while.

Also, “long-term thinking” is code for “right-thinking like me”. A bs authoritarian goal.
