everyone who is like "you have until 25 to accomplish everything" is so boring. i didn't know who I was at 22. i didn't develop a lot of my hobbies or worldview or sense of self out of school. I like myself much more now than then. insane and morbid to rush people like this.

these guys just want you to grind and work and maybe reproduce in the most bloodless and functional way possible and then die when you're no longer productive. they want you to feel like a failure at 23 so you will do this. you are allowed to use your youth to explore life.

in his essay on revolutionary medicine Che Guevara talks about how under socialism, new subjects who are both physically and mentally healthy will emerge, because they will be free. they will be able to develop a true individuality, not individualism tied to private ownership.
