Feeling like progress is impossible? You’re not alone — here’s how to keep pushing forward #TEDTalks
Malala Yousafzai has spent her life advocating for girls’ education — surviving an assassination attempt at 15, meeting with world leaders and then watching hard-won progress collapse when Afghanistan fell to the Taliban in 2021.

I already know that my future self will want enough water, enough food, a home, etc.

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.

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.
