Adults are stupid and 99% of people you meet in person over 30 are morons

I'm curious why you feel, at your age, that you doubt yourself so much.  Please explain....

It’s not necessarily a case of doubting oneself.  It’s a case of older people think they are wiser and wouldn’t make the same mistakes as their youth, and if only I could do it all over again knowing what I know now…

There’s a great 80’s movie starring Corey Haim and Corey Feldman about this called Dream a Little Dream.  But basically the old man tells the 17 year old “get off my lawn” and they end up transporting and switching bodies.  Finally at the end Corey Feldmans character is like “come on pops I thought you had all the answers”.

Anyway long story short the old man was over calculating everything and couldn’t act in the moment.

lol keep tellin yaself that brodie

if it makes u feel better bout where u ended up then more power to u

 

It ain’t about me dawg I see it everyday.  Just look at the nicca next to you and ask if that nicca done fell off from his former self

… part of it is the state of the Nation, Trump was tryna bring it back strong again but no—y’all wanna push for collectivism, socialism, communism, mask-wearing, lockdowns, boosters, gay and trans agenda, money to the Ukraine, NASA Science hoax, Ukraine, higher taxes, race agenda—- ain’t no way America gonna come back stronger like that

So the Nation gettin weaker is a factor

But as a general principle it is a myth that people improve with age.  Actually every day you wake up you have equal opportunity to progress or regress.  It’s no different than your physical fitness.  If you wake up and run that day you get stronger if you wake up and sit that day you get weaker.  You don’t automatically progress as a result of being 1 day older.  You can just as easily forget something as you could learn something.

because there are two paths

the right path and the wrong path

when u take the right path, things get better.. u grow, u learn, you advance

but when u take the wrong path, everything goes to shit

since infinite took the wrong path, he projects and subconsciously assumes everyone is on the same wavelength as him


the good thing is that there’s always time to change and navigate yourself to the path that leads to good

Okay so you think you are better now than before and you think Infinite is worse.  You are making this about me and you—but I am making a general statement as one of my core philosophies.  It’s no different than me saying Coward-19 is a hoax or globe earth is a hoax.  I am saying the concept of “maturing” is a myth.

Just as you said—there is equal chance of degrading and decaying as there is progressing—everyday you wake up.  Even if you think you are progressing, it’s still the same concept when Scitt wakes up tomorrow.  You could’ve progressed every day up until now but that means nothing tomorrow morning cause your standard could be so high that even in succeeding tomorrow you actually regressed from your previous days standard.

I have never met anyone that has said they were wiser at 16 than they were at 40. While it was more innocent and I had less responsibility in my high school years, I did not grow up in a situation that was ideal. Poverty is stressful and I was pretty much having to fend for myself at that age which is not something for the faint of heart. It was hard.

That being said, hard times are supposed to build character when the energy produced from them is turned into a positive direction. You can either play victim to the hard times or use them as a chip on your shoulder.

Those hard times made me into a resilient and decently successful person. You are only a victim to your own mindset. You are supposed to continuously grow as a person. That's the entire point.

Supposed to.. supposedly… but in reality people regress.

You just said it yourself, when you were 16 you were facing many challenges so you had to be strong but now your life is set and you are becoming weaker as a result.  So the you now is actually weaker than the one facing resistance at 16.

It’s like Snoop—when he was in the hood at 16 that’s when he became the Snoop we all ended up being fans of when he was just hustlin’ trying to make it and facing all the resistance.  Now he sits around in every interview blaming the media for East/West war and saying how he was young and stupid back then and learned from his mistakes—when in reality the reason he became great and beloved by so many is not because of the supposedly “wise” man he is now but because of his 16 year old self that was truly great.

100% agree.  I think his life is pretty terrible now.  Maybe his parents coddled him at 16 and he had everything in life he ever wanted, and now that he's out on his own and has to work for everything, he isn't reaping the rewards because the work isn't there.  So from his perspective, his life was so much better at 16.  Poor choices = poor life.  When you're 16, the results of your poor choices don't manifest until later in life. 

Having sex with a hot girl you met at the bar.  Great idea.  9 months later when that kid pops out now you think "Man my life sucks, it was so much better a year ago"  Again, because of poor choices.

We all have the same 24 hours in a day.  All the stuff you mentioned, (trans agenda, boosters, Ukraine, NASA, etc)....we all deal with that every day too, just like you.  Except we all manage to survive, and THRIVE.  You on the other hand, focus and obsess over it and create a whirlwind of failure because you can't get past these things in life.  We all manage and cope with them and still better ourselves, no reason you shouldn't as well.

most people regress because most people are stupid

but wise people grow

that’s not up for debate

nobody said you automatically progress just by living .. like anything else, u just gota put in the work n be on the proper channel when doin it

but to act like the concept of growth is not a goal well within reach is idiotic

Claiming it doesn’t make it true.

Soopafly: “We all thrive but you don’t.”

I can make a claim all the same.

Infinite:  “You all don’t thrive you all have regressed from your past selves.”

There.  You made a claim and I made a claim.  Anyone can make a claim.

but you yourself said you’ve regressed

that’s not something others are putting on you.. that’s from the horses mouth

on the contrary, you can’t tell others how happy or successful they are. that’s for them to decide.

so if soooafly says he feels better than ever and is happy where he’s at

and you say you’re depressed and got worse over time

then we guna take it for what it is

I said as a general statement that regression is just as likely as progression—and that more often people actually regress—so without knowing you guys personally and all the intimate details of your life and psychology I would say in general we all have regressed.

Soopafly is making the claim everyone is progressing except me. 

Now you get it?

Sorry, let me clarify.  "Everyone who is involved in this chat and given us their input has progressed.  You are the only one who has said he has regressed with age".

I no made no more of a blanket statement than you are now by saying 'the majority of people have regressed'.  You don't know that to be fact either.

yeah, you made a claim and I made a claim.  You are claiming you, and the people in this chat have progressed and I am claming you guys have not--but not as a personal attack.  I am stating it as a generality.  I don't know your personal lives and psychology but more often then not people regress.

Yet, the reason it is noteworthy is because it goes against the prevailing wisdom...

-Prevailing wisdom says Covid-19 is a deadly virus spreading from person to person amongst the population.

-Prevailing wisdom says that the Earth is a spinning water ball.

-Prevailing wisdom assumes people mature and become better with age.
