This closely parallels a required exercise in the Introductory EA Program; participants are asked to write letters to their present selves from someone who lives in an imagined future.
In this case, it’s a way of trying to express how it feels to live under a different set of moral views than our current set, but I think that your proposal would do something similar — pushing people to imagine the future as a real, tangible thing worth considering in their current decision processes. I’d be pleased to see this tried in a virtual program, or the fellowship of an individual EA group.
