The adulting mode of anything is just another tax on the rest of your life. Like effort shock but for maintenance. The lifetime maintenance burden for an adult behavior only goes up, never down. The sense of pride/mastery at doing anything for yourself fades. The cost doesn’t.

I like to use this as fuel for speculating the spiritual heritage of human beings. Our soul is used to having magic powers to create instant results for any and all desires. Meat-suit mode imposes new restrictions. Technology as manifest nostalgia/impatience for magic powers.

or to riff on Voltaire, we are God distributed and encapsulated, our God-ness hidden so that we might be convinced that we have to invent it. Our ingenuity/diversity of this “no God, therefore must invent God” is actually God’s favorite trick to play on herself, only game in town

I don't understand by adulting means in this context ...kindly elaborate? my guess is type of habit or behaviour we learnt as we were kid through adulthood ... pressure by society, school, culture, parents ... maybe?

You start adulting a behavior not when you first start doing it for yourself but when you first realize you’re probably going to have to keep doing it till you die.
