> Childhood is serious, really? Yes! Confusions about the proper seriousness of 20-year-olds are downstream of confusions about the proper seriousness of childhood.

Relaxation, free-spiritedness, amusement, silliness, absurdity, and fun are at all ages absolutely important, irreplaceably meaningful, and strictly dependent on and essential component parts of taking yourself seriously.

Contra (?) @visakanv IMO the Scylla of "life is excruciatingly meaningful" is fundamental and you should *first* steer the ship into her maw and then quickly somehow get the both of you sucked into the void of Charybdis (yes stick with the meme Matt you're doing great)

Are your 30s serious? What about your 40s? 50s? 60s? 70s? 80s? I patiently await your reply 😊

your 20s are the most serious time of life, teenagers should take risks within reason while also being very serious, childhood *should* be very fun but also highly restricted/regimented by loving, attentive caregivers

I think it's all equally serious (and all equally fun) but the shape of these changes quite a bit over this span
