You Don’t Actually Know What Your Future Self Wants
|
|
| Through the use of vivid storytelling the journalist Shankar Vedantam explains the impact of what he terms the "illusion of continuity", the belief that our future selves will share the same perspectives and views as our current selves. He points out that "on an ongoing basis, you are constantly becoming a new person." This creates practical challenges in terms of making promises for our future self and enacting laws that seem enlightened now which may seem archaic in the future. He offers three-fold advice tro handle these challenges: stay curious, practice humility, and be brave. |
