We put so much weight on regrets that we may feel later in life. I want to challenge this thinking a bit because it seems to be grounded in the idea that the values we express at the end of our lives somehow represent a truer or more accurate expression of what we care about, right? It's prescriptive. This way of thinking implies that there is just one constant true set of things that we ought to care about. And if you take that view, then there's no obvious reason why we should privilege the values of future Maya over present-day Maya.
