Across 3 studies, we find that valuing future lives equally—regardless of their distance in time—predicts stronger interest in long-term oriented, high-impact careers.

Thanks Mark. My colleagues and I emailed the editor expressing this as well.

And perhaps the icing on the cake, blatantly failing to even acknowledge that future thinking and the study of future generations is a real topic, disregarding hundreds of papers on this issue across fields:

Another gem: "We may as well discuss how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, or how elves, leprechauns, and pixies should be treated if we assume that they exist. If there are ANY real world implications of ANY of this, the authors are obligated to provide these."

This review was mostly an ad hominem attack, criticizing my work outside of the scope of this paper, and concluded with this sentence:

"Please direct your considerable creativity in a direction likely to advance meaningful knowledge."
