The longer I live the more I think that the art of presence is about prioritising present happiness over utopian bliss.

The longer I live, the less time I have left to live, so the more urgency I feel to focus on the present, however suboptimal it may be, at the expense of some long-term hypothetical optimum that I am less and less likely to witness Maybe this is just a paraphrase of your statement, but I'm trying to get to the core motivators for this, and how much wisdom vs the sense of one's mortality (both of which increase with age) play a role I keep thinking about Ray Kurzweil's transhuman bliss and how it's been a way for him to cope with his own fear of death
