I've written about something similar -- http://goo.gl/SbveOA http://goo.gl/SbveOA -- though in that case I was about making proclamations on behalf of future you. In some ways the theories are at odds. My argument is that people often view their future selves as the identical person that they are today, just in the future. That they can't identify that the future person is, in effect, a very different person. This article posits that people view future person as a separate person altogether, and screw them anyways. It is a fascinating topic that you can waste away a day contemplating. Ah well, future you can do what you were supposed to do today.
