He's right because he 'feels "done?"' He feels done because he is paranoid and lonely and feels bad about himself, because he seems to have profound psychological pain. Glorifying his manic, grandiose justifications is a terrible idea, even if horror is sometimes fascinating. He felt done because he was using cliches about aging to rage at himself. There is no "prime" after which the value of your life declines. If your conception of yourself is that you only deserve to live insofar as you can perform as a young person would, you aren't admirably rational, you're just self-loathing.
