    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!

    This is the question to the ultimate answer. The answer being “42.”

        I really did start to feel like I had a better handle on things by mid 30s. Then it really sharpened in my early 40s. Not sure how clueless you might have still felt around then.

      Reached mid-thirties, I’m still having no idea what the *** is going on, the longer I live, the less everything around me makes sense (and I don’t think it’s me that changes that much…).

      Watching what’s going on in the US for instance, just results me in shaking my head in disbelief, without having any idea what’s going on…

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

    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.

    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.

      My friend mentioned to me that there are two types of cinnamon.

      I happened to pass a spice stall at a local shopping center and started chatting about cinnamon. The guy behind the counter knew quite a bit, but pointed out that he wasn’t an expert.

      The aren’t just millions of books you’ll never read, there are millions of books you will never haver any idea that they exist.

        I mean, I think the point of the post is generally how to live in the world. Of course there are almost infinite obscure facts and skills, but I get your point.

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

  • imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

    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.

    Is this a question no-marxists ask themselves?

    • DagwoodIII@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Take a lesson from Mao.

      The true revolutionary hides himself among the masses. Only adventurists and posers boast of being Marxists.

      Like marxists have a great grasp on reality themselves.
