Isn't this always true, whether you've died in between or not? One
reason some people have trouble planning for the future is that it
feels like an externality: I'm giving up something today for the sake
of someone I don't really care about (me tomorrow). Who you identify
with as "me" is ultimately an arbitrary, emotional decision.
