Re: does ACism require \"strategic thinking?\"
I tried to define this earlier. "Strategic thinking" means valuing of long-term strategy over short-term security.
E.G. redistributing all wealth evenly in 1900 might have been great for the poor people in 1900 -- but the consequences would suck for everyone (including the poor) as of 2007. Recognition of this is a form of strategic thought.
Surely we all understand that maximizing long-term EV may involve increased short-term risk/stress.
