Weird, futuristic, unreliable self-advice.

If, when you were 16 had you been given opportunity to get advice directly from your future self: 10, 20 or even 30 years later, would you have listened? I don't think I would have, probably because I think I would have made the assumption that something likely would have "happened" to me in the interim years, twisting my thinking. And you know what? I think that particular presupposition may have indeed been accurate.
