Fear of the passage of time/aging

LSD

I'm earning as much as possible to give to anti-aging research or to go to grad school to research it.

I gave $1k last year on lifespan.io.

There's an epidemic of manchildren because growing up just doesn't work out in the cost benefit analysis anymore. You need to be properly motivated to work your ass off and the motivations for everyone are slowly breaking down.

So what do we do about it? What happens when suddenly we're 45 with nothing to show for it and no parents to rely on anymore?

You seem to put too much worth in making a lot of money.

Its been hammered into you since birth that earning lots of money and holding useless degrees is what it takes to be HAPPY.

Its just not the case op. You look down on your older coworkers for working their. But millions of people work these jobs. Millions of people never go to college. Millions of people are poor. And a lot of them may legitimately be more happier than you will ever have the privilege of every knowing.

Maybe you want to work hard and achieve great things? Maybe you dont? You dont even know what you truly want do you? That's because you are terrified of being a the loser that you were conditioned to believe exists since your birthm the loser who doesnt have 3 college degrees and works for some fortune 500 company or whatever bullshit you were trained to believe is true happiness.

Stop and really think about what it is you truly want out of life and work towards that goal. Maybe you like overcoming obstacles and working hard. Then go and chase that degree and work your way up some corporate ladder.

Maybe all you want in life is a wife, your family, and enough money to get by. Maybe this equals happiness.

Decide what it is you want in life and work at that.

You should really try being homeless for a while. It will likely only motivate you to work harder while getting rid of the fear. You'll know that you could handle it if it ever happens and you'll have more of an appreciation for everything that the work you're doing earns you.

this is golden.

but you could have any other job, it will mostly depends on how do you think about your time spent on working. cause if you measure knowledge on "how much money could I earn with", you're not gonna happy at all. go to college cause you want to observe and experience more and more. if you take a path first you don't really like, you can leave that path and try another. if you're experience the path you leaved as knowledge, like "now I know that physics is not the thing I wan't to study", then it's not wasted time. rethink the way you think about your time spent, OP.

A couple of thoughts came to me while I was reading OP:
>1
If you don't make choices in your own life, life WILL choose for you. And you may or may not like that.... Life won't give a fuck. I prefer to make choices for my own life instead of leaving it up to Life. So in my view you must accept that you must make a choice of some kind and live with the consequences.

>2
Accept the fact that you will grow old, age, and die. This is kind of like... duh.

>3
If you have to grow old and die... and you have to make choices for your own life (unless you want to let Life choose for you.. which it will).... then the only thing left to do is Think, Plan, and Execute.

Think about your options. Plan what you want. Go get it. That's all any of us do.

What are some things you want?

Yeah this is great advice

Bumping this thread so I can also voice my thoughts on it when I get to my wageslave job that I've been stuck on for years.
