Sort of, but people get defensive and start to argue that they _will_ need whatever it is at some point. But my argument is that, fine, you may be right, but if it's not needed _right at this very moment_ there's no reason to rush it in. Often the best way to prepare for the future is to do as little as possible - keeping things simple now makes adaptions much easier down the road if and when the need actually arises.


Our future selves will always have more information than our present selves, so we should let them make the decision whenever possible.
