This! The carpe diem mentality has always had this flaw IMHO. Humans are what they are because they invented ways to deal with the future: being a good sport, a sense of community, trading, etc.
Just living in the moment isn't enough.

"Carpe diem" is just misunderstood. It's more an advice against procrastination than a suggestion to ignore the future.
