Very understandable. I remember how tired of life I was & how badly I wanted to enter the abyss of nonexistence right before I turned 29 a while ago. Not so fun times. I recently climbed up another step in the 30s ladder. We keep moving I guess.
If certain things don't pan out before 28-30,I'm probably going to get acquainted with noose tying techniques.

Birthday Blues

Happy birthday, bro. Many happy returns. Stay jiggy! 😁🎂🎁
Happy Birthday, kind soul. You make your sister proud. Thank you for the encouragement and sharing YouTube videos and articles (I've learnt a few things). Enjoy your new year
Thanks so much Jide. I deeply appreciate it.🩶

I started my biotech journey at 14 and am now 35. I have no idea wtf exceptional means, but I do believe in myself having gone through a LOT of failure without loss of enthusiasm. Failing early is good advice, but senseless competition is lame. Just strive to be a better you.
tbh I don’t think we tell kids how small the window is to be exceptional at many physical or intense intellectual pursuits. You basically have from 15-35 to become meaningfully world class at many things, which usually means starting in early teens
People’s desires to fulfill their childhood dreams to be special and exceptional at something is what causes most of the suffering in the world. Being normal is okay let it go
Reclaim the joy of being an amateur! "amat" Latin, "he/she loves" Are you going to be on the national team in chess/soccer/etc? Likely, no. Do you enjoy it and want to pursue excellence for the fun of it? Go for it!
You don't need to be world class at anything. Most people who end up world class at a skill do it compulsively, because they love it. We don't need to stress out average teenagers with "you already hit the wall, you will never be the world's best chess player, give up chess club"

Kant and to a lesser degree Hegel also had liberal democratic themes in their writing, but more generally it’s because the Germans were metaphysicians (even Nietzsche in a way) while the Anglophone philosophical tradition is glorified legal theory.
Philosophy of great culture vs pragmatism of great civilization
this isn't true of anything except the most physically demanding sports and believing this makes people waste their lives
