You'll be long dead and gone before it matters. Try not to worry about things that won't impact you in the slightest.
- tchbnl 3y agoAh, because who cares about the people who come after. That's their problem.
- voidfunc 3y agoIt is their problem. It's not your problem or anyone else's problem right now. Stop trying to control the future.
- plussed_reader 3y agoWhy not try to hand off an easier 'playing hand'? Or is that controlling the future as well?
- coherentpony 3y agoWell, I can't control the past. My options are the present, and the future, and the latter depends on the former. So what are my options?
- voxelghost 3y ago>So what are my options? Trust in the market forces to self regulate? Let Jesus take the wheel? Leave it to beaver? They all seems about equally realistic.
- coherentpony 3y agoDo you realise that doing nothing is also making a choice about the state of the future?
- bastawhiz 3y agoThe inability to respect the people who come after you is how we've ended up with every single generational problem that we face today. Literally every single one.

- stuaxo 3y agoIt is already controlling the future to let it be used up.

- rgrieselhuber 3y agoThis is basically boomerism in a nutshell.
- jeppesen-io 3y agoCompassion for those alive or will be alive, is a worthy goal I'd argue it's one of the ideals of living a worthwhile life
- SideQuark 3y agoExcept it will matter if your lifetime is more than a decade or so. https://www.google.com/search?q=world+helium+shortage https://www.google.com/search?q=world+helium+shortage Why are the least knowledgeable about a topic the most certain of their uninformed opinions about it?
- sporkland 3y agoI'd say dunning kreuger but I saw something once that it didn't mean what the popular interpretation claims it means. And I also worry about social sciences reproducibility in general.
