I think about the underlying structures of things a lot (Sorry if this is a tangent). Like, how does the mechanical clock work? Most people just see a number on the screen or a dial at best.
I thought about the human body, along with emergent behavior, the brain, and information itself. To me the underlying structure of the mind is the sole, and the underlying structure of the future is the children, and the past is the dead. If all we have is right now, then everything else is data. How you structure your future is what you leave behind.
E.g. if I entrain a structure, and if I want it to hold up over time then I have to train the future underlying structure (children), and if I want to have my dinner to hold up over time, I have to make more food. Time preference literally dictates your action.
We can't not know enough about the infinite game strategy.
