No mention of Diamond's Impossibility Theorem? One quickly found reference here: [1]radek (talk) 17:01, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Discounting and the Paradox of the Indefinitely Postponed Splurge (Rendall 2018) - This article seems to be talking about how to set the social discount rate based on the risk of existential catastrophe, but I do not have access to it through my university (yet).
• Discounting for Patient Philanthropists (Trammell 2020, forthcoming)

I'll add the information in these sources soon. Qzekrom (she/her • talk) 06:35, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
