Why set your future self up for success if your only connection to that person is a story in your head? What is supposed to change when you take this view of being disconnected wit…

I don't understand this at all. Do you also think like this about the "future you" that might have to shit themself on the bus ride if you don't go to the bathroom before you leave…

The person you are arguing with said this: >But then you can invest that extra profit in decreasing your foreign currency price, thus becoming more competitive.

How could walking possibly burn fewer calories per unit time than a tiny leg movement?
