Trust me, you don't wanna know what's going on.

Kurt Vonnegut said that one of the scariest things that every happened to him was the day he looked around and realized people he'd gone to high school with were running the world.

I used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't 'it' anymore and what's 'it' seems weird and scary. It'll happen to you!

Older than 60, I can confirm.

Just when you think you're getting a grip, everything shifts.

That's the neat part, you don't.

Roughly mid-thirties. Then the remorse sets in.

This is the question to the ultimate answer. The answer being "42."

Such an appropriate post to find on my birthday.

The goal is not knowing what's going on, it is not caring about any of it

You need to be dead years old.

Me everything I watch a new movie/TV/anime.

"Wtf", "What?", "Nani?"

Also wtf is Tenet, does anyone even know? Or is Christopher Nolan just making a whole 2 hour movie to call his audience dumb? So fucking confusing, so much action, 0 plot.

Historically? Mid-20s when you enter the work force and start wondering why groceries are so expensive. And then you lose your mind and get angry that life was so much better when you were 10 and not paying attention to that.

YES.

One more year should do it..

If you invest a lot in to learning as much as possible when younger, then by like late 20s you can get a decent sense of things. But even then it's a tiny percentage of everything.

Ask yourself how rich, that's the only wquestion that matters.

We're entering irrational times, ones that you can only navigate with your heart.

life is absurd. So you did it, I guess …

I think the question is how much money do I need to know what is going on?

... finding out what's going on or loving that long both sound like very risky propositions with dubious upsides.

Usually when you get to that point in life .... your either dead or almost dead

It is not about age, it is about listening, and not listening to only one thing/person, but listening to anybody, not intercepting the talk, just take it in and think about why that person is saying what they saying how, don’t blame them for saying something “illogical” in your view, try to find reason in it by asking clever questions that do not insult the other person.
If you manage to do so, you can understand why what is and how it is, by talking to enough people, age is irrelevant.

No fucking clue while being early 30s. When I was much younger, I thought my parents and adults around me knew much about the world. At my 30s I know one thing - world is fucked up and nothing can be in one's control. All we have is to try to react properly to the world around us. Other than that, no idea what is happening and doubt anyone ever had an idea.

Is this a question non-marxists ask themselves?
