no but i feel like i’m being denied it.

Nope. Almost every day I learn something new.

No. I’ve completed my personal bucket list though, so I’m never in a great rush to do things these days.

No. We’ve only scratched the surface of computer-aided collaboration. We could have a crowd thinking space with a consensus development environment, but instead progress has been opposed and we’re stuck with primitive wikis. My industry and career are standing still with extreme potential to improve humanity.

Get into folkloristics, it’s pretty fun. You can get into all the Slenderman stuff because it’s literally untapped mystery you can’t just rely on secondhand sources, all the research is centered on one controversy that somehow killed his popularity but not every other religion. My “job” (it’s a hobby) is basically having to read the hundreds of all the Slenderman blog ARGs ranging from 2009 to the present day, as well as all the freaking Slenderman and Creepypasta comics. It’s just interesting how religious patterns emerge out of something spontaneously created on the internet, like Zalgo vs Slenderman having parallels with every other religion with “divine rivalry”. Interesting anthropological subject.

Sounds like the dunning-kruger effect. You think you seen it all because you don’t know what you don’t know.

this is the wildest statement i’ve seen all month

the breadth and depth of the experiences that life has to offer is unfathomable. do not be so brazen to assume you have experienced even a tiny drop of vast ocean of what humans have actually lived through

From suicide in the trenches to the raising of a child; from gazing upon Earth from space to hunting a predator with a spear; from meditating in silence for weeks to leading a entire nation through a crisis; from winning a chess tournament to starting a business—and losing it all in a bankruptcy—existence is infinite, or may as well be.

think of it this way

there are 52 cards in a deck. that means every single deck has a specific order, right? what are the chances of you getting one specific order of cards if you shuffle? Well, how many different combinations are there? 52! ( ! means both factorial and emphasis here)

That’s 52 × 51 x 50 … all the way to × 2 × 1

That’s 8x10⁶⁷

That’s 8 with 67 zeros. Here

80000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

For reference… the number of seconds since the Big Bang is estimated to be about 4×10¹⁷

Now think of your life and human life in general. Think of all the variables. Hell, there are 7 days in a week. 52 weeks in a year. Coincidentally the same as a deck of cards.

If you do something different every week, there are going to be 8000000000… different ways your year could turn out.

So, please do not fall victim to this type of irrational thought. I’m not sure if it’s arrogance, depression, or something else leading to that delusion, but it’s a wild statement—absolutely nuts

No, in fact I feel like I could be immortal and still never reach that point.

My guess is that you have significantly exhausted the extent of your interests and common interactions. It happens.

That’s to say, for example, you’ve read, seen, discussed, etc. almost every sci-fi series in existence. There’s some you haven’t interacted with but you would have hit the new ones and all the significant older ones. In which case there’s really nothing left for you to consume besides minutiae/very small things (you ran the well dry).

The same can said for interactions with people. You’re having the same conversations you’ve had before. Sure some of the specific details change but the core remains the same.

If this at all sounds right, I’d suggest expanding your interests and social circle. For interests, I’d suggest something close to your current interests and look up the highest rated components of that interest to look into. Using the Sci-fi example, fantasy may be a good place to look and Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Mistborn, etc. maybe be good places to start.

For people, expanding your social cycle can be tough. If you haven’t already you can try and pair an interest of yours with a group that focuses on that. Example could be RPG gaming and joining a Table Top RPG group. Another option is taking classes in a new interest. You’ll likely meet new people with a similar interest as you. Another option is volunteering. There’s lots of organizations or mutual aid societies out there that would welcome additional members. That’ll give you new people to talk to while helping others (win-win).

Regardless, best of luck with everything :)

The opposite. I’m afraid I will waste my life procrastinating, not even being aware of what it has to offer.

I can’t even keep up with the movies and TV shows I want to watch.

Yes, you probably should get some therapy about it.

Not even close. Too many things to learn, too many things you can get good at, not enough time to do them all.

Im no big on new experiences. I like being content. Like a cat. I could never tire of walks or biking or gardening or relaxing or having a hot bath or whatever. I am sad for this world and where its going and even more so that it is my kind. Humanity. Driving it there. Nature is beautiful and terrifying and amazing. I very much appreciate I got to experience this timespace and yet do not want to be of this world.

I doubt I could even make a dent in the amount of art, music, theatre, film, TV, fiction, dance, and reading about scientific studies made only this year so far if I was trying to consume and experience everything.

Let alone everything from the last 200 years. So, no, even without leaving my house there’s enough new things to last a lifetime
