Thanks for the link, although it’s addressing related but different issues. A hyperbolic discounter can assent to ‘locking in’ a fixed mapping of times and discount factors in place of the indexical one. Then the future selves will agree about the relative value of stuff happening at different times, placing highest value on the period right after the lock-in.
