This is a non-argument for me but may work for others. I couldn't care less what happens in 20 years. I don't even know if I'm alive then. It may be irrational but I simply don't care.

Then you're not receptive to any reasoning about future values, which seems sad.

Why is it sad? I live in the moment and I'm very happy. I'm not saying everyone should be like me though.

It's sad because it seems to treat the entire future as a kind of lost cause, which to me is primally saddening, like nihilism or solipsism.

No, that's not what I'm saying. I care about privacy for other peoples' sake and partly for my own. But my own personal future is a non-issue. The future of the world is not.
