Which is bullshit.

There's the micro-scale of what effects us in our day-to-day-lives, which is subjectively important, the macro-scale of heat-death, which is objectively important, and the less-micro-scale of the entirety of human existence/history, which is bullshit.

Being sad about shit in the less-micro-scale is pointless/invalid because it does not personally effect you & the macro scale ultimately overrides it.
Thus the reminder.

>Do you have any dreams, /v/?
I somehow managed to achieve my dream early on. Now I'm just aimless as fuck because I had no other goals beyond that.

None of you are happy because the industrial revolution and its consequences have created a society in which no one can be truly happy. Life is now unsatisfying because the power process (the process through which humans achieve satisfaction with life by achieving their goals) has been disrupted. The greater the struggle in achieving one's goals, the more satisfaction is rewarded by the brain. For example, in primitive societies, the simple goal of survival was so difficult that chasing it and achieving it alone would lead to a satisfying life. But modern society guarantees the survival of everyone in exchange for minimal effort, so surviving gives us no satisfaction. In modern society there are no opportunities to go through the power process, because because everything is either handed to us or we cannot achieve our goals in a way that satisfies our desire for autonomy.

Instead, humans have turned to surrogate activities (an activity that tries to achieve some artificial goal that we have set up for ourselves, simply so that we can actually have something to work towards), such as anime, video games or browsing 4chan. However, surrogate activities are inherently unsatisfying because they are pursued for their own sake, and have no external goal - since ultimately nothing is gained from completing, they cannot be satisfying in the same way that fulfilling a physical need can. The only way out is to overthrow the system through revolution.

As long as you were a decent student, you could always try to reach out to them about opportunities in those fields. Most jobs involving ornithology, paleontology, or herpetology involve teaching and research, so it may be worth trying to pick up some research experience to see if it's something you enjoy. Same for any anthro or anatomy - most of those opportunities seem tied to research, education, and benchwork. For all of those fields, there are jobs that are more than that, so asking your professors with more experience in the fields what connections they have or other uses for the fields may be helpful, as the bio background gives you the basis for various things non-medical and non research (EPA, CDC, water treatment, natural parks, etc. are all things that require science STEM degrees and have a large range of things you can do). Just don't go into grad. or professional school if you're unsure - most of the doctoral students, med students, etc. I've worked with that go on because it was "the next thing to do" seem dead inside pretty quickly.
