Surely one can expect the long-term future to be different enough that one’s quality of life 10 years from now isn’t a particularly trustworthy estimate?
It isn’t the future I’m worried about, it’s me. If I don’t like me then I’m not looking forward to any future; if I like me, then I want to stick around and see how the future turns out (except perhaps the most horrible possible futures.)
