The future self may never exist so give in to the present

Nice talk, but there's a different TED talk on almost the same subject.
It's about the "experiencing self" vs the "remembering self" by Daniel Kahneman. And to be honest he explains it way better, without rambling on like this guy did.

Bill Gates on energy: Innovating to zero!by TEDtalksDirector309,645 views
The Purpose of Life is to appear completely absurd to your friends, family and co-workers. And then to secretly attain brilliance on your own in the quiet hours you use very well. Thus, you make them feel better than you, and you know you're more competent than they. This is a breakthrough that elevates mankind. There is no other.
