This is more a way to motivate your mind to use decision problem thinking rather than subjective anticipation thinking than a different solution to these problems. The general idea can perhaps be made even more broad: if you can get your mind to treat other people's futures as your subjective anticipation, you will have more motivation to be altruistic.
