    That whole stupid marshmallow experiment where you judge kids who will wait for two marshmallows later instead of taking one now as more responsible, as having a "future time orientation" Okay but what if a future time orientation is wrong What if the future isn't cominghttps://twitter.com/chasingiamb/status/1261562054613204992 …

    Were you taught that fun, like dessert, is always for afterwards? My column this week is about whether that makes any sense anymore https://www.livemint.com/mint-lounge/features/do-you-always-eat-dessert-first/amp-11589548500160.html?__twitter_impression=true …

        Yeah in everyday life with the common understanding of how consequences work saving money makes you smart and maxing your credit cards is foolish Unless an asteroid hits the Earth tomorrow, then maxing my credit cards was genius and everyone who didn't is a sucker

        When people act "irresponsible" it's with the awareness that tomorrow may never come and if your life is lived entirely in anticipation of the future and you get hit by a car it was totally wasted It's irresponsible not to be a little irresponsible, it's living in denial

        And I mean COVID-19 sure showed us that didn't it Those of us who weren't literally killed nonetheless now have to live in a world where a ton of the contracts we made with the system in hopes of future rewards have been shattered

        I cannot imagine being a studious, obedient, nose-to-the-grindstone kind of teenager and finding myself graduating in the Class of 2020 I would be so fucking pissed

        Plus, it assumes that you TRUST the people dispensing the rewards to live up to their end of the bargain

        Yes, it felt more like a scathing criticism of how we treat different children. How often do we lie to different children about future promises? How often do we break our promises to them? What have we taught them how trustworthy we are?

        In a Psych class discussing development and delayed gratification I felt alone in noting how the model didn't adjust for when - after the work and sacrifice - the bigger reward never comes. Sometimes the "Eat it now, fast!" kid is right. Glad to hear this from someone else.

        That's why you don't repeat this experiment with physicists or philosophers. 😁

        But marshmallows go stale ... the question should be whether to eat both now or to save one for later. Saving both for later is a net loss of value.
