That argument only works for people who care how they’ll live in their 60s/70s. There’s a morbid reality check in my circles (late 20s/30s) that the way our parents are living right now will never be obtainable for us (this includes friends with children as well). So might as well squeeze out life right now, at least have stories to tell to each other when we’re “dying of hunger in our 70s”. It’s not a scientific data point or anything, just bunch of friends shooting the shit and talking at the bar kind of stuff. I’m not saying it’s all doom and gloom in the future, but it’s simply a risk assessment. The usual semi-paradox of “if others don’t care about it, why should I”, but apply that to everyone in the world.
