I don’t know if I have ever come across the writings of a more miserable person. He talks about suffering an existential crisis for 30 years and it really comes across in his writings. Poor bastard. I hope he can get help.

The only reason why you are not in a similar panic mode is because your hormones are evolved to keep you way above the baseline appropriate for the circumstances.

      Does such panic over things we have no control benefit anyone? Who is better off shitting themselves in terror over the elephant in the room rather than just making distance and leaving it alone?
