A relatively atheoretical perspective on astronomical waste

Abstract

This research introduces an atheoretical perspective to astronomical waste, emphasizing the importance of a good trajectory for humanity in the long term rather than focusing solely on existential risks. It proposes the Principle of Scale, suggesting that improving the quality of life for a large number of future people is more important than benefiting a few in the short term. The approach outlined in this research is still philosophically debatable but seeks to include perspectives that give high priority to the future and may appeal to individuals with practical ethical concerns. – AI-generated abstract
