'Purchasing' any fruit is still high time preference.

lol yes, planting a fruit tree is better.

If you do subsistence farming you don't need a currency in the first place.

Yep. Opposite of bananas, and avacados? Well, good luck timing that market.

Pears ripen within days. In economics, this is considered "high" time preference.

Starting a retirement fund and withdrawing from it 30 years later would be considered "low" time preference.
