@LukeAlmighty not even a dramafication considering how they're using neurological development to argue we don't fully mature mentally until 25. they have no clue how brain development actually works and that it NEEDS being exposed to situations it doesn't yet fully comprehend in order to mature. these people unironically think if you just let people age they're magically gaining new insights that enable them to protect themselves

I am so tired of hearing the "mouse utopia".
It was one experiment with so many variables, that we have no fucking idea what happened to the mouse culture.

Even the fact, that it was a freaking mouse culture means we cannot just extrapolate it to our way of life.

People are taking this single case example, and treating it like a fucking law for some fucking reason. That is insanity.

Holy shit I love capitalism more now, I want capitalism in my mouth right now

One idea that's been stuck in my head recently is about committed decisions and the point of no return.

Basically that after making one decision it "locks you into a path" and forces you to act differently based on that afterwards.
To one extent this is about living with your choices. If you choose to buy a house or a car, you have to deal with it. However it also causes you to "buy in" to a certain lifestyle. If you buy a pickup truck you might look for excuses to use it to carry things. If you buy an expensive car you might want to show it off to raise your status. Even if those were not your intentions in the first place, that decision affects your "path" forwards in life to some degree that otherwise would not have happened.

At some point people may buy into something so heavily that it becomes a cornerstone of their mental identity. You can see this a lot with political ideologies, sexual and "gender" identity, fandoms, etc. Where to the point that if you removed that, the person would not be the same. Basically creating a traumatic shock.

The point I think I'm trying to make is that small decisions add up significantly over time. Especially when it comes to the overall trajectory and momentum of a persons life.
