A good question to ask: Basically, why do we discount future rewards? I think Jim Morrison has the answer: "The future is uncertain and the end is always near." Delaying a reward 100% of the time is only rational if you 100% expect to be around to enjoy it.https://twitter.com/NeuroPolarbear/status/1081678338723332098 …

Nobody is arguing that there are not other drives. But also the fact that people do discount future rewards is well established.

I agree it's well-established. But most of the modeling about why discounting exists seems to take a very individualistic, almost solipsistic approach, as if personal death renders all future benefits irrelevant to one's blood-line or civilization.
