    I already know that my future self will want enough water, enough food, a home, etc.
    But I’m not sure that I will be that lucky.

      A house? How about being able to afford rent! It has nearly doubled since 2015. 7 years! Wages sure haven’t.
      1-2k for rent is absurd, absolute robbery.

    I don’t agree that we will become a fundamentally different person as we grow older.

    Yes we change, but if one knows one’s self we’ll, the changes we experience are superficial to who we are.

    This is a rich person’s problem. If you actually asked the struggling masses, all we want now or in the future is housing and food stability.

      Buy a burger van and put a hammock in it.

      Accommodation, food and income all in one.

    your future self is talking behind your back

    ruin their entire life

    There is a lot of sublety here. Firstly, if I turn into a total a**hole, I currently care a lot less about making that future self happy. (I also want to avoid turning into an a**hole)

    But also, putting your future self in a generally good position works fine. Ie ensuring your future self is alive, healthy, rich if money is still a thing in 30 years, etc.
