You just have to readjust the range. For example,distracted_at_work wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2017 8:44 amWhat's the saying? "Plan like you will live forever, live like you will die tomorrow". Pretty words but light on the key details that fall in between methinks.
Plan like you will live 10-20 years more, live like you will die in 2-3 years.
Here's an interesting metaphor. Most fighter planes have a radar gun sight that computes speed and bullet deflection to tell you where the bullets you fire now (in the present) will be by the time they cover the range to enemy target. Using that kind of sight, you put the enemy in the crosshairs and hope he stays there until your bullets have traveled the distance. You can also hold the trigger down and position the cross hair in a way so that the enemy flies through the bullet stream. Effectively .. if you yaw suddenly, your sight will yaw along with you.
There's another kind of sight which is IIRC is called a "historic sight". This kind of sight will tell you where any bullet you fired in the past will be now at the range of the enemy aircraft. So, e.g the bullet velocity is 3000fps and the target is 1500ft out, then the sight will show where bullets fired 0.5 seconds ago are NOW. (The previous one would show where bullets fired now are 0.5 seconds in the future). To hit with this one you would arrange your aircraft in a way so that the enemy will fly through your sight in short order and then fire before he moves. Effectively .. if you yaw suddenly, your sight will stick for 0.5 seconds and then catch up.
There are thus TWO different ways of being future oriented. One is to make projections and think of the future as a time where one will eventually be (the future sight). The other is to live in the present but do so in a way that prepares and accounts for the fact that the future will eventually become the present (the historic sight). THAT is how I understand the quote above. You're not planning for the future. You're living today in such a way that when the future eventually arrives, your past actions were such that the future they resulted in are now good.
IOW, where you are today are the combined outcomes of choices you made 5-10-15 years ago.
I think that's the difference between YOLO .. that's what YOLO is lacking. There's rarely if ever any concern for future impacts .. so YOLO actions while always positive in the present are randomly positive and negative in the future. This way no momentum is built .. and eventually YOLO people run out of energy in their 40-50s ...
