The battle between your future and present self

by The Philosophical Fish

Definitely more interesting than the last video I watched and posted. Similar topic, similar theories, but this one had a fascinating discussion on the drawbacks of using commitment devices and self-discipline (ex owing $5 for failing to stick to a commitment/goal).

“To abstain from the enjoyment which is in our power, or to seek distant rather than immediate results, are among the most painful exertions of the human will.” – N.W. Senior 1836

Worth watching if for no other reason than to think about future planning from a realistic point of view.

Can you tell that I’m in investment mode since the end of February is approaching?
