This metaphor is still within a debt/based currency paradigm. The debt to future generations is in how we manage our economy as a commons. The debt based upon the privatized currency model is a debt to the banking cartels. If we remain tracked within the neo-classical hall of mirrors, then yes, future generations which may be equally ill-informed about actual practices and about expecting different outcomes out of the same until death do we part willing participation in an eternal debt to free loaders. There is also a social contract to focus upon the actual outcomes, rather than various fictions used to terrorize and defraud. Science is also supposed to operate as a commons, though that process has been substantially corrupted for the sake of corporate returns on investment first, foremost, and lastly.

But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.
We can make private corporations that fill this pattern by simply treating some % of Profit as Payer Investment - so that every User incrementally gains co-Ownership in the Means of Production for all the Goods and Services he needs.
