I’m not sure that follows. We need X money this century and Y money that other century. Can we really expect to know which century will be more important or how much we’ll need, and how much we’ll be able to save in the future?
What I mean is I think it’s straightforward that we need to save some money for emergencies—but as there are no “older humanities” to learn from, it’s impossibly hard to forecast how much to save and when to spend it, and even then you only do it by always thinking bad things are still to come, so no time is the “most important”.
