Empirically people don’t really seem to grow much after 40. Maybe 1 in 10 will adopt a truly different mindset. Maybe 1 in 100 will develop a new life-shaping ability (not a hobby). Maybe 1 in 1000 will take on a fundamentally leveled-up Act 2 that will top Act 1.

I’d love this!
I still need to finish Being Mortal, but the state of geriatrics / respecting the elderly in the US still makes me a little nauseous. My grandparents were all awesome people and I’m sad about how little I know about their lives.

As expected you’re extracting the 180 degree opposed idea from what I intend 🤣
Disrespecting elders is about the only thing American elderculture gets right. I think trad elderculture is way worse than modern. It actively inhibits dark growth by reducing oldies to grandparents.

well, if your elders are the Dumbest Generation of Narcissists in the History of the World, yeah you’re probably better off watching random TV shows and disappearing down internet rabbit holes until you psychosis yourself into productive sanity.

You might be making the opposite mistake that Curtis Yarvin made with his whole Carlyle research. You think that new technology is a constant, he thinks that it doesn’t exist lol.
Time will tell I suppose.

It has almost nothing to do with technology. You really oughta try writing out your own ideas since you appear yo have arrived at some sort of breakthrough. Triangulating your thoughts with reference to others’ thinking is going to increasingly distort both yours and theirs now.

I could maybe muster the concentration to do it if I got paid a lot for it. I hope to be a fantasy book series author when I get older, for now I just have more interesting shit to do.
You were the one that convinced me TV shows are better than books, funny enough.
