Willingness to wreck people's lives (usually but not always other people's) for the sake of values which may or may not be well thought out.
This is partly a matter of the signaling aspect, and partly because, since Far values are Far, you're less likely to be accurate about them.
Okay, thanks for clarifying. I still haven't read Robin Hanson on Near vs. Far (nor do I have much interest in doing so) but based on your characterization of Far, I would say that I believe that it's important to strike a balance between Near vs. Far. I don't really understand what part of my comment orthogonal is/was objecting to - maybe the issue is linguistic/semantic more than anything else.
