Where does your hatred for low time preference stem from?

(Indeed the classic proverb "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush", which is often cited as an illustration of the concept of "temporal discounting", gets a whole aside in Pilgrim's Progress where they talk about how that proverb came from the Devil to lead men to Hell)

Dude, low time preference does not mean to never do anything. If opportunity comes your way, seize it. But what we are criticising is not people using the "bird" in their hand but flinging "poop" (i. e. mal investments because money degrades in value and must be used NOW)
