If you owned any slave and could cheaply do so, you'd want to mold it to share exactly your preferences. But should you treat your future selves as your slaves?
Upon further reflection, I think altruism towards one's future selves can't justify having different preferences, because there should be a set of compromise preferences such that both your current self and your future selves are better off if you bind yourself (both current and future) to that set.
