Author here, half an adult i'd say. It was meant to be a stream of consciousness unloading exercise, my first one at that. I have no idea why people are upvoting it.
You're probably getting upvoted because there's a kernel of truth in it. Many of the very intelligent people I know have followed this line of thought at one point or another. I have as well, multiple times.
It keeps coming back to "what's the point of what I'm doing?" and I've personally yet to find any sort of answer that speaks to any sort of higher truth than "I'm here, now what?"
