debt implies faith in a better future. the more debt one incurs the more one lives in a "story". while reality is robust since it's always just Literally There, stories are far more brittle due to constant upkeep reqs.

the constant upkeep b/c to believe in a story is to believe in a certain type of ending such as a Happily ever After. Reality is constant PAIN IN THE ASS to a story because it's always opening up threads and plot holes.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1350349263138562048?s=20 …

so when grandpa says "This ain't so serious, back in MY day blah blah blah" he is offering the same energy that can dissolve a limiting belief but also can be incorrectly used to attack the Meaningful Story directly (or indirectly as collateral)

so.... first become a writer, THEN become an editor. first have a goal, THEN take on debt. first learn to create, THEN learn to destroy. (debt is a way of destroying certain futures to increase the probability of desired ones)
