They would never build for you because you will teach them by example to build for their descendents.
“A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit.”

What if they don’t care for their descendents and they only care for ideas.

Not really how our monkey brains work generally. We’re biologically programmed to do lots of things, like want to have babies (or at least sex and not be smart about it) and to take care of them. Not everyone does a good job, but historically speaking it’s led to a population of a few hundred people turning into a few billion.

That’s the whole gene vs meme concept.
The same principal applies in that people who come after you can receive your ideas.

And if their idea is you shouldn’t exsist?
