Önmlidir

Önmlidir is a hypothetical term used in speculative discussions of decision theory and future ethics to denote a principle that prioritizes long-term outcomes over short-term costs. Its use is not tied to any widely recognized theory; it is a neologism created for explanatory purposes.

Conceptually, önmlidir describes a weighting rule in normative evaluation: when comparing options, outcomes with greater predicted long-term significance are given more weight, even if neighboring present consequences are less favorable. In discussions of artificial intelligence, climate policy, and social planning, advocates sometimes invoke önmlidir to argue for policies that reduce future risk, even at higher near-term costs.

Limitations include the difficulty of predicting distant futures, the subjectivity of value judgments across long time horizons, and the risk of overemphasizing speculative outcomes. Linguistically, the term is a constructed neologism—formed to evoke Turkish morphology by combining continuity with forward-looking meaning—rather than a standard lexical item. Öndürmlidir, as a concept, is mainly used in hypothetical or world-building contexts and is not part of established philosophical or linguistic nomenclature.
