Good find and I agree that they are pretty similar. As I write in the text,
This trade-off [#11] can be “constructed” by considering the interaction of Some Now vs More Later [#6] and Loyalty vs Universality, where “savoring” is loyalty to oneself in the short run and “saving” is universality over the long run. However, this is a common enough interaction that it seems canon-worthy.
I interpreted “saving” as “saving for yourself,” like putting money into a bank account so you’ll have it later rather than spending it now. Universality over the long run seems to me more like ‘donating’ or ‘investing’ or… in Triumphs of Experience, this gets called “guardianship” vs. “hoarding,” but I think that’s still framing both in long-term terms, and it’s not obvious that “guardianship” means “developing a community using your resources” (the intended meaning) rather than “protecting things.”

Do you agree?

Interesting, thanks for explaining how you interpreted it. I interpreted it as “saving the world.” I’ll try to see what others think as well.
