This is fair but there's a difference between "policies will not be massively pro-young because young people know they will one day be old" and "policies will be massively pro-young but everybody gets to be young sometime"
If each younger generation *does* hand themselves something unsustainably expensive, each subsequent generation that winds up paying for it (in part) may feel increasingly pressed to do the same for themselves, even at the risk of perpetuating the cycle into full-on death spiral
