You feel uneasy when someone says "that's adulthood, suck it up like the rest of us," because your natural instincts reject low-agency & defeated mindsets.
You feel discomfort inside and reject the notion in your mind.
Something inside you knows adopting that attitude is fatal
I cannot emphasize this enough as a practical life skill: learn how to say no to authority figures. Learn how to tell them that nothing they can do to you will change your mind. Disappoint your parents. You have to live your own life.
you can get a form of depression that’s not quite typical but comes from this dread of knowing how intelligent your brain is via this evolved metacongition stage but never being able to explain or prove it to someone in the rawest sense. very few have it. it’s dreadful.
Because of science:
Your mother survived childbirth. You never got polio. You’ve never seen smallpox. Your friend with type 1 diabetes is alive. That infection you had? Antibiotics cured it.
We don’t live longer because of luck. We live longer because science works.
