About Futureproofing Your Life:
The problem with the human perception of time is that we live in the present and we can only perceive the present.
In fact it actually takes a rare combination of intellect, self awareness, and general wisdom to plan for the future.

And so, many people don’t actively do it, and choose to live day to day. As such, decisions are made on a short term basis, and are (generally) more hedonistic in nature
I was thinking about this, and the key area people miss out is AT SOME POINT, that future will be your NOW

And the thing is that
Your life will progress. It’s like one of Mario boss levels where the screen slowly moves to the right.
Whether you like it or not, time will pass. And so, your goals and demands change.
What 20 year old you sought may not be what 30 year old you wants

And that is why hedonistic living normally has kinda bad implications
The decisions you make now, you think only impact your now.
10 years later you find that you’re stuck with that same group of friends and that you no longer enjoy doing the same things

And so when dealing with potentially life changing decisions, try your best to really choose the one that, on average, leads to a better life on a time-weighted scale
i.e the potential of getting STDs from a rando from the club has an immense lifetime debuff, not worth the r/r

I also partly made this thread bc
its pertinent to choosing your significant other. IMO your SO is the one thing you shouldnt downplay
After all you’ll be spending the rest of your life with them.

Sure looks are important, no denying that
I dont really buy the argument “Looks fade”
It’s more like, even 5 years from now when you look the same, I’ll be spending everyday w you - do I have someone that can really connect w me emotionally

Feels like most of my peers choose the short term option and go for the pretty ones w/o taking into account this
And then 30 years later they have an unhappy marriage (?)
IDK, just my two cents really
