Not applicable here. If you can predict what a stronger you would lift, why not lift it right now? Because it's not about correct beliefs about what you want the meat robot to do, it's about making it do it. It involves different thoughts, about planning rather than goal, which aren't predicted; and resources, which also need planning to obtain.
Good points.
I wrote my comment with the purpose in mind of providing some short-term motivation to juped, since it seems that that's currently the main barrier between them and one of their stated long-term goals. That might or might not have been accomplished, but regardless you're certainly right that my statement wasn't, um, actually true. :-)
