It might be considering chickens before they hatch, but not counting them. Our ability to envision the future we want and make it happen is among the most unique features of our species.
My point is that a plan of action now requires proven solutions now. That can be adjusted in the future as things change, but the now plan must include only now solutions.
My attitude towards my body thus far has been that I can wear it out because technology in the future is going to solve all my problems. Well, there's no good solution for my pulverized L5-S1 disc even though I'm now living in the future. Would have been a better plan to have preserved the integrity of my existing body than expect replacement parts.
