Over the years I've noticed a particular lifestyle-trend in contemporary american culture where typically someone will be born, work hard in school to get to a good college, work hard in college (for to learn a useful trade), and work hard in adulthood for their family, children, or their retirement. Why is it that people are only allowed to look at and understand themselves late in their life, when they're old and frail and cannot understand themselves as they might've had they not worked so hard in their youth? Is it better this way, or do you advocate a different lifestyle? How do you structure your life?

Why are you implying that one can only "Look at and understand themselves" when they're not "working hard"?

Because introspection in youth, when the brain is plastic and neurogenesis and gyrification remain strong, might lead to novel thoughts. Too much novel thinking outside a small elite leads to invention, and innovative thinking. Innovative thought begets more innovative thought. Pretty soon, everyone is creative and it isn't special anymore. The global economic elite have only just managed to restrain these dangerous creative juices of the American Empire. Thanks to their patriarchical care, we can live in harmonious peace under the Golden sun, free of the sin and burden of the now-unfathomable intelligentsia.
I am happy to be a drone, and I look forward to the 10% of time at the end of my life when I will be permitted to think.

By the way, Dawkins calls this, "fucking autism" where we only look at nature because it is shiny and pretty, our drooling faces visibly entranced whilst abso-fucking-lutely no activity is going on in our mind.

no one is stopping you.
Literally the only thing restraining you is, you, your own thoughts and ideas, your own limits.
You're the only thing holding you back....

ahhh, but that would require him to think .
And he can't do that...according to himself.
