I don't really give a fuck what people regret or not on their deathbed. That's the moment when you're least objective about evaluating your life. Next week's Jacob will be happy I worked on these regulatory reports today and he's much closer to me than octogenarian dying Jacob.

Sure. Some need advice on lengthening their time preference and some need the reverse advice, as with all advice. But the "deathbed" trope is still silly. People who'll only realize basic life wisdom in the shadow of impending death should take more mushrooms while they're alive.

I think that's the pragmatic takeaway? Not so much that you appease your deathbed self, but that if you can surmise his regrets they will probably give you some information about what sort of things are consistently hard to arrange in the medium term but very valuable to you
