  1. I'm closing in on 40, and this is what I've learned: You will absolutely start believing in the simulation theory, because no matter how talented you are at something, how much work and effort you put into your goals, you'll get absolutely nowhere. Meanwhile you'll watch people with far less talent and ambition casually attain levels of success that you'll never know. The harder you work, the worse your results seem to get. Finally, you decide to stop trying so hard and let the universe provide the path forward. However, while other people who do this have their paths provided for them, you will find no path, and your decision to stop pushing and going after what you want will uncouple you from the tiny bit of leverage you had. In the end, you'll have no path forward and be left completely alone, knowing that everyone you've ever known, from the talented and driven to the lazy and unmotivated, have all attained far more success than you with far less effort. At that point you'll just give up and run out the clock, confident that when your time comes, you'll wake up in the simulation chair and decide that yeah, the "Nightmare" difficulty setting really is impossible.

  2. @quixote  I don't know man, I never used to take it seriously, but I'm not sure how else to explain much of what happens in the world.

  3.  @HumanExperimentJ  The key word there is risk. Because while some people go out with ambition and risk their status and are ultimately rewarded with things they want, others are repeatedly denied those things and their lives made worse. If you go after what you want but are not only denied, but suffer negative consequences, eventually you realize that watching Netflix is far less destructive to your life because while it may not improve your life, at least it's not measurably making it worse.

  4. Or you could pursue your goals with everything you've got, only to find out it goes nowhere and your progress gets cancelled by the universe before the first season is over. In my experience that's the far more likely outcome.
