I think most in this thread are missing the point. It’s not really about specific knowledge, it’s about day to day existence and entertainment. The average person isn’t deep diving any topic, but nevertheless seeking the next dopamine hit becomes harder and harder and you’ve seen every core day to day thing by like age 20 which you must then rehash for another 60 years.
I get the sentiment.
Yeah, this would be the right answer, the rest is basically the normal copium the humans need to keep themselves going.
I don’t blame them, once you run out of it, life is pretty mediocre.
This post made me think it would be good if there was a community where people could post about “stuff to do”, eg join a local amateur soccer team, here is how leagues work, here is how you find a club to play for, can anyone play, are there min/max ages on teams, are teams split by gender, what is the social scene like, etc etc. Kind of like an AMA but focussed on things people can do if they need an activity/hobby/sport/place-to-meet-new-friends. There’s probably heaps of scenes I don’t even know about, or don’t know how to get involved in.
Sounds like the dunning-kruger effect. You think you seen it all because you don’t know what you don’t know.
