In this video, we will break down why your 20s are so difficult and “quarter-life crises”, the 27 Club and "gifted child syndrome", late-stage capitalism and how hustle culture makes us burn out, accepting aging and "twink death", and how to overcome a midlife crisis and enjoy your 20s. We will also talk about Dante's Inferno, Sisyphus, Sylvia Plath, and other philosophies and how they show us that aging can be difficult, how neoliberalism destroys community, and also why turning 25 can be so hard for so many. We will conclude by showing how mindfulness and meditation can help slow down our perception of time and make us less sad and anxious.
