  • That is the subject of George Ainslie's work, which has not really been well-understood or integrated. The author mentions "making trades with your future self" which suggests he's read Ainslie, but also says "This is easier if your preferences aren’t contradictory", but the whole point of Ainslie is that our preferences are contradictory and the only reason we have selves at all is to enable intertemporal bargaining.

  • "That's a problem for future Homer. Man, I don't envy that guy." (see future self )
from Agnes Callard
  • Aspiration distinguished from ordinary agency; it involves setting new goals, not merely acting towards existing ones. It's meta IOW. And interestingly problematic from a square philosophical sense, because how can a present self act in order to give a future self goals it doesn't have now?
