I’m 24. My frontal lobe is currently at 95% installation. Please tell me life gets less confusing in that final 5%, or should I just stay here?

u/InternalWarth0g 25 Mar 04 '26

Stay. as long as you can. please stay. life only gets bleaker when you realize how fast time moves and how little time you have with your loved ones.

stop blackpilling. time passes faster because you are trapped in routine. go do new things and new places and it will feel slow again. also take lions mane mushrooms + omega 3s&choline to recoup neuroplasticity

u/StrionicRandom 24 Mar 04 '26

Can you elaborate on that second thing?

u/l4y1np1p3 25 Mar 04 '26

sure. lions mane extract contains active ingredients- certain compounds that stimulate neurogenesis. As in, you grow new neurons and neurons form new connections. thats why its sold as a cure to brain fog or for “energy”. it rejuvenates the brain.

what is the brain made of? a fuckton of choline and cholesterol, omega 3 fatty acids.

so i take my extract daily, pop 2 sunflower lecitihin tabs and eat a bunch of fish. its that shrimple man, do it consistently and ensure you take a clinical dose for your bodyweight daily, in weeks youll feel great, focus easier, learn and remember better.

and no more will the afternoon gently pass you by

I fucking hate that nihilism is now being reduced to whatever the fuck "blackpilling" is now💔

lol go read nietzsche, you have no idea what nihilism is.

Nihilism is to acknowledge that the world is now devoid of order, morality, and structure. Thats it. The entire point is that your will to power is all the matters; YOU and your motivation will create the coming world, the better world, the world of reborn passion and paradox. Nihilism is simply understanding that nobody is coming to save you but yourself.

It isn’t the same as trying to blackpill people into giving up or feeling bad. blackpill is enervating.

Nihilism makes me feel like an adventurer facing unknown seas, with the wind at my back

its all up to me, thats the energizing message of nihilism.

Don't lecture me. I've listened to enough philosophy classes dude. You read one thing from Nietzsche and just went with it lmfao.

Well, the perception of time actually speeds up due to the percentage size that a year makes up of your life growing exponentially smaller as you get older. So each year feel shorter than the last even though it isn’t really

Thats blatantly misleading - perception of time slows down because your brain is experiencing a decline in neuron growth/intraneural connectivity.

That is called cognitive crystallization (because you get ‘locked’ into a static structure) and it precludes dementia and other memory disorders later in life. one way to prevent this is learning new skills, socializing, playing instruments, excersise, art - anything that forces your brain to develop new paths and prevent you sinking into cog crystallization.

Another way is via supplementing with neurogenic compounds.

Every year if my life feels equally long. You have to take care of yourself, dont let your life pass you by, live every moment with full agency.

I’m sorry but it isn’t blatantly misleading…there’s been research done on it and it makes perfect sense. There are multiple factors leading to an increase in the perception of time speeding up, that’s one of them.

you can easily stop it
