One must separate two distinct ideas: 'intergenerational neutrality'—that a life 100 years from now is worth no less than a life today, so we should be equally concerned about future and present people—from the discounting of money, where a dollar today is genuinely worth more than a dollar in 2100; failing to discount money while honoring life-neutrality could itself harm future people by impoverishing the present and forgoing prosperity that yields human goods.
