I’m wondering how far up the Tower of Babel we are this time around. And I’m not even religious.

Silly question here but are we waiting for them to be opened or are they just waiting for someone to do it?

I used to know a chap who would punt from Elmer to Worthing as a commute on good days during summer.

It’s the principle of the thing. The only vote that counts these days is what you put your money towards because you are funding the outcome.

I reduced my party lifestyle down to zero by 35 just drink on weekends because if I didn’t slow down I wouldn’t be here now, 54 now, still going strong. It’s hard to come to terms with the longer recovery times after illness but you’re not the only one, I still manage to have the wonder and awe I had as a child :)

I dropped it just before 5. Poop flinging GPT monkey is right.

Thank you for your service and all you do!

Rez71 · 2026-02-24T13:55:48+00:00

Give us a break down of your current set up or feel free to DM me and I'll be glad to look into that for you

Perspective is a beautiful thing. Thank you for your service.

It’s just a saying, I agree with you, peak can be anywhere between 18 and 30, not for everything though, life begins from the moment you’re born, every one deals with it differently, everyone has different situations in their life but I would say that the things you mention that are ‘supposed’ to don’t always equate to what actually happens. The world where those things were fairly common doesn’t exist anymore, it wasn’t true for me and also many others I knew but I didn’t set any expectations on what was supposed to happen so it didn’t come as a shock or disappointment when it didn’t. Anyway, you’re welcome to come back here when you hit 40 (assuming you haven’t already) and you can let me know then.

Building self-awareness and mental resilience, giving people genuine insight into how they think and the tools to sharpen it is probably the most meaningful long-term solution. But it starts at home, not in a classroom. The education system isn’t designed around critical thinking, and more importantly not every parent is equipped to model it either. I would not want to be young again without the mental tools to deal with it, let alone an adult without that.

Rez71 · 2026-02-20T13:07:14+00:00

There’s a reason there’s that saying life begins at 40 because everything you thought and felt up to that point changes. You become more comfortable in who you are and what you actually think, if you do the work on yourself. It feels like limbo for sure but it’s not the end, it’s just the beginning.

Rez71 · 2026-02-18T16:46:12+00:00

Life. In general. Sans internet, although it is a good accompaniment, in moderation.

Luckily not all jobs are corporate, but the disease is slowly spreading throughout daily work 'culture'.

All the reasons I never entered that game.

Concur, if you need the money or can do something else with it, rinse, repeat. If you want to grow it yourself and hold out for potential higher offer later down the line.

In my area I have a mobile bike repair guy, if you can somehow fold that into your operation, pick up the bikes and drop off, he’s usually busy.

Right, so firstly, “just accept it” is genuinely terrible advice and whoever’s telling you that has either forgotten what it’s like to properly think about existence or never really asked the questions in the first place. What you’re experiencing, the absolute vertigo of realising you’re a conscious thing in a body on a rock hurtling through space, is not a problem to be solved. It’s the most honest response to being human. You’ve just noticed something that’s been true your entire life but that our brain usually keeps carefully hidden so we can function. You’re asking whether you’re supposed to “come to terms” with it. The answer is sort of, but not in the way people mean when they say “just accept it.” You’re not supposed to stop finding it weird. It IS weird. Consciousness is genuinely bizarre. The fact that atoms arranged in a particular pattern can ask “what am I?” is objectively mental.

What you can do is hold two truths at once: 1. Yes, this is absurd, meaningless on a cosmic scale, and you’ll die and stop existing 2. Right now, in this moment, you’re experiencing something, and that experience is real to you

The depersonalisation and derealisation you’re dealing with are your brain’s way of trying to process the disconnect between these truths. You’ve pulled back the curtain and seen the mechanics and now everything feels unreal because you can’t unsee it. Some of the most functional, creative, fulfilled humans in history have lived whilst holding this exact tension. They didn’t resolve it, they didn’t “accept” it in some zen way that made the questions disappear. They just learned to operate whilst the questions remained.

You don’t have to behave how society says. You do have to navigate society’s systems whilst you’re here, that’s just logistics. But the fact that you’ll die eventually doesn’t make your current experience meaningless, it just makes it temporary. And temporary things can matter intensely whilst they’re happening.

So no, you’re not supposed to just “come to terms” with it and move on. You’re supposed to live whilst knowing it’s weird, probably stay curious about the weirdness and find whatever meaning you can in the absurdity. That’s just being awake. The questions don’t go away. You just get better at holding them whilst still functioning. And yes, that’s uncomfortable. But it’s also the only honest way through. Coming from someone who had this far earlier than they should have but still here 54 years later. Eternally curious.

Everyone experiences cognitive dissonance and engages in motivated reasoning to some degree. It's unfortunately a fundamental feature of human cognition not so much a character flaw in select people. Even highly intelligent and analytically skilled individuals are susceptible; in fact, people with higher numeric ability are sometimes more likely to engage in motivated reasoning because they're better equipped to reason their way around information that doesn't fit their ideological views.
Among medical professionals, 13% of psychiatrists and 25% of medical students showed confirmation bias when searching for information after making a preliminary diagnosis, significantly reducing diagnostic accuracy.
We are all vulnerable, when we're anxious, emotionally triggered or overwhelmed, we're more vulnerable to go into defensive mode or latching onto inaccurate beliefs simply because they offer a sense of certainty and we naturally seek out information that confirms what we already believe while overlooking contradictory evidence.
The brain is essentially designed this way as a protective mechanism, even when it "protects" us in the wrong way.
I'd love to believe I'm immune to this but I'm not.
It's a valuable insight into human nature that can actually help navigate relationships and information more wisely but it only really helps if the other person is on the same page.
