The only practical application of TDT that I've found is as an anti-procrastination argument. "If this excuse seems good enough to me, it's probably going to seem about as good to me+15 minutes, so if I don't get to work now I'm very unlikely to do so in 15 minutes either". I still find the existence of significant acausal connections between different individuals to be pretty much claptrap.
