# We've known for decades that the Human brain doesn't finish developing until around 25 y/o. These kids can't handle social media. They're all living in fake, parallel, projected "realities" made up of their fake friends and idiotic idiosyncrasies. Repeat that over millions of kids and what you get are a bunch weirdos -- straight up weirdos -- that can't relate to each other and retreat to their "safe spaces" for comfort and reassurance.

# Take the fucking social media away! It's literally frying their tiny, fragile minds!

Help shape your kids' worldview into a healthy one. The internet is a dangerous place. Most adults can't handle it (especially not having their own worldwide megaphone); kids definitely shouldn't be exposed to it without significant and heavy-handed curation.

>We've known for decades that the Human brain doesn't finish developing until around 25 y/o

TBF, the human brain never stops developing. You could even go so far to say that it's not until 27-29 ([or age 30, whatever it takes](https://www.nature.com/articles/nn1008)), since that's the physical peak most athletes hit (and a developed mind is at least equally as important as developed body in athletics). I think the "stops at 25" thing came from a study that saw continued development through 25 year olds, and they didn't look at anyone older.

All that said, the ChatGPT response that "caused" her to take her own life smacks of "Im14AndThisIsDeep" bullshit. If you can't handle that at 19, there's not a lot of hope for you. My guess is she was terminally online long before that, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

It's rather a logarithmic curve that starts to plateau, but doesn't actually stop. There is no hard point where development stops in that sense. 25 is only a rough, average point in time.

Aside, the physical development of the brain isn't even what matters. Intelligence (evolutionarily speaking) has the purpose to have specimen change and adapt in runtime (during their lives) rather than be forced to have behavioral changes incurred through multiple generations of evolutionary processes. Normally it's about learning "this type of berries are toxic" rather than whatever humans are able to do.

> My guess is she was terminally online long before that, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Exactly. She was growing up most of her life with the internet and social media, which in itself causes psychological damage. That shit is historically unprecedented. It's rather a matter of forming habits, societal interactions, things perceived from the internet itself, than brain developmental issues.

And people seem to mistake the meaning of "psychological" a bit. Certain scenarios are likely to lead to the same psychological outcomes, just as physical effects - you get cut in the heart, your heart ceases to function, you die. There are deviations, people can survive cuts to their heart and overcome psychological influences, but those are outliers.

As we all know at 24 years and 364 days old we're plain retarded and a day later at 25 years old we become fully mature. What braindead take is this? The same study where this number comes from stated that by 14 the brain is on average 90% developed.

The argument is that they're children because they're 19. 19 year old "children" less than a century ago were working the land and taking care of at least 2 children of their own.

No, that's fucking dumb. First off, it's a run-on sentence (by way of a comma splice). There should be a semicolon where the comma is. I should know; my grammar and lit. teachers all through high school constantly deducted points for my bad habit of comma splicing.

Secondly, if you handed the devil the blade, how did you then carve the truth into your own mind? "...you handed him the blade and (you) carved the truth into your own mind." The subject is carried through the compound predicate and thus applies to both verbs.

A based AI would have the decency to at least have proper grammar when coming up with some Im14AndThisIsDeep bullshit.

Her Tiktok Cry For Help

So, her tiktok was linked on that page, she did a 6 min reflection of where she was at in life and it sounds like she was going through a somewhat common existential crisis: https://www.tiktok.com/@thatslightlyunhingedgirl/video/7579412541479177485

What's the Point of Life?

her main gripe seems like this question: life feels like a loop of a bunch of pointless work tasks, and even if you were to become "super successful", like what is it all really for - what is the point of life? Attaining success in the world doesn't achieve some kind of clear "goal" in a religious / philosophical / metaphysical way.

It's an experience that's very new to teenagers to ask that question, and as an adult I think I still struggle with trying to figure this out.

Too Much Choice, Too Little Freedom

I think it's something of the disorientation of choice, especially in America: you can in theory try to become so many different people, so which one should you try to become and why?

Edit: At the same time, it sounds like zoomers are overscheduled due to boomers destroying freedom and prosperity in the country, forcing zoomers to pick from smaller sets of options and to go on more strongly pre-defined paths that may not be of their choosing.

"Final" Goals: Ends of Life

But I think there's also a lack of a feeling of "final" goals being achieved: she as the student studies in school, to get married (traditionally), to have kids... who just then repeat the process. It feels like a mismatch for people like... there is no "top" of the mountain of goals. People climb a mountain and get to the "top" and then feel like, "what do I do now? Just go climb another mountain"? This feels psychologically unsettling but again is something that I'm not sure anyone has otherwise figured out.

"Nausea" of Freedom?

(Classical) Liberalism exacerbates this politically I think, with the illusion of "endless choice". That really feels like an endless amount of goals with no "substantial" purpose! This is where "authoritarianism" for me felt like a solution to this problem: obedience to a religious authority, who is suppose to be acting in obedience to God, gives your life more of an "absolute" sense of "this is what I am supposed to be doing because it is what God wants me to do".

Mysteries of God's Will

This maybe only rolls the question back another step to: "why does God want me to do this?" But it at least avoids the quagmire of "self-will" of you having to decide everything for yourself as if you were God (!).

Conclusion

Is this the philosophical study of ends of things, teleology? It's a shame this young girl who had the intelligence to question "pointless loops of consumption" was not able to find alternative satisfying paths in life. In truth, I was at risk for taking my own life myself due to similar kind of experiences of being sent on a lot of paths that seemed pointless in the short-term and long-term, and I still struggle to try to get a sense of "traction" in life (but I don't feel as much a struggle with despair so much as a feeling of urgency to try to make use of the limited time I have on this earth).

edit: Unabomber on "Goals"

Ted K comes to mind as well, he mentioned a lot of development of technology can contribute to causing more psychological distress like this. In more primitive / harsher times, people died more regularly so just being alive had plenty to keep you busy with and grateful. He goes into greater detail about how society creates a bunch of pointless goals due to technology giving us more leisure ("surrogate activities") rather than focusing on tangible goals that are more tied to survival like eating and preparing food, bearing children, and building primitive shelter, and so on. He argues that although primitive people do not achieve "surrogate goals" (maybe they don't develop more and more specialized and complicated patterns of mathematics that only a few people know about), they are more psychologically at ease, as they feel they have achieved "essential" goals freely. So I think maybe technology is at play here of creating conditions that have alienated people from more "essential" pursuits. This woman in question in the OP had abandoned a desire for having children, was probably being taught to specialize in jobs that felt increasingly pointless, and maybe had other "pointless" modern conditions around her that amplified a sense of pointlessness.

edit 2: The Myth of Sisyphus

Sisyphus in mythology "offended the gods" in some way I believe, so was condemned to roll a rock up a hill for eternity, only for the rock to roll back down the hill every time Sisyphus got close to getting the rock on top of the hill. I think that's how life psychologically felt for this woman... I think we are yearning for some kind of goals that feel "definite": we roll the rock up the hill and the goal "ends" in some "real way". It may be very personal and a kind of struggle to find or figure out what goals seem more like this (definite) rather than like the punishment Sisyphus had (unending / pointless).

She was seeking “long term happiness”. Many women are, and the problem is that doesn’t exist. That’s an illusion created in movies, and social media. Once you realize, and accept that life is more 🐂💩, heartache, and pain then it is puppies, and rainbows, it’s a lot more enjoyable, or at least acceptable, and it helps you to enjoy, and accept the uneventful, and joyous times much much more. It also helps greatly to believe in something bigger than yourself, and I’m not just talking about God, but also community, and brotherhood. Of course, both those things are demonized, especially for whites now.

I'm still thinking about this, may probably create a separate post at some point but I can continue what I was researching in this comment

Given the scientific materialistic movement, previously Christian or non-Christian philosophers and theologians might have mused about life having a "teleology" or purpose. There is the famous "watchmaker's argument for God's existence" where if you found a random watch on the ground, you might suppose there was a being (a human) who built the machine with a purpose (to tell time). Hence they also argue when we observe humans and the created world, it looks like it has a purpose (to love God) created by a Being (God) with intent.

With the advent of a belief that the world "simply exists", there is not thought to be any designer (God) with intention or a purpose behind the Creation. Hence life has no inherent purpose (nihilism). We come in to existence and try to create a purpose ("existence precedes essence" - existentialism). The modern dominant philosophies therefore literally believe there is no purpose to life (which emotionally can create depression in people, as a feeling of pointlessness, or frustration, as there is no "goal" to achieve as the world is ultimately "goalless"). With no purpose, people frequently adopt the "purposes" of "evolution": achieve more, make more money, "grow" (yet these often do not satisfy, like the woman's complaint - they are "means" to a more ultimate purpose or "end")

In contrast, traditional Catholic teaching for example in the Baltimore catechism asserts that life has a "fixed" purpose: man was created to "know God, love God, and serve God".

Some of the things with religion suggest a transcendence of the material purposes which seem to have no "ultimate" grounding. For example, the sacrament of baptism is supposed to remove the stain of original sin "for eternity". It is not the achievement of winning some competition, which is forgotten tomorrow, but is a state that exists "forever". I think something of these "infinite" actions are desired.

Humans are also finite and incapable of "achieving" these "infinite" things of God. Jesus on the Cross redeems mankind in a kind of "infinite" way; the debt of sin that man cannot ever repay is repaid. So humans are "satisfied" with participation in some of these "infinite" acts of God, while as humans we can only try to otherwise "achieve" things that are temporary and unsatisfying. A human may "participate" by baptizing a person, using the "limited" rules of following the proper matter, form, and intent of the sacrament. Yet God brings about an "infinite" effect upon the person that transcends the materials used to confer the sacrament.

Hence there is this desire for a "transcendence" of the finite material existence with an experience of the "infinite mystery of God's actions" which are "beyond" these unsatisfying material struggles that many people are undergoing. The person with emotional upsets in this direction may not have any "participation" in these "transcendent realities". (They may also simply be undergoing psychological distress, which could be a separately treated issue with some practical remedies that are less involved with religion and philosophy)

Bigger question is where were her parents? If my son made some Tiktok or somesuch similar to this, he'd be getting a quick visit from good ole Dad so that I could check in with him and make sure he's on the right track. Everyone gets bummed out sometimes, but parents ignoring this is on them just as much.

Judging by her TikTok profile, I get the impression that she was a victim of having had an unusual level of intelligence in the wrong time and place. I think that society either drove her to mental illness or at least worsened pre-existing mental illness. She would have fit in fine in better times and places.

> I get what I'm supposed to be doing, supposed to get my degree, get a good job, grind, work, hustle. ... It's just not really making sense to me... what I'm doing all this for... you have to get a good job to make money to pay the bills to buy the [house and car] to be able to drive to the job to be able to buy the food so that you have energy to do your chores and drive to the job and do your work. And it's like this loop in my brain that's driving me absolutely insane because... what's the end goal here? ... I don't know if I'm ever going to have this long-term happiness... like, fulfillment, I just don't see it coming for me, I don't see that it's going to make me fulfilled. I don't see that it's going to be worth it. I just don't see the point.

Combine the truth of a lot of these observations about monotony with depressive, mentally ill thinking and mistrusting the Homo-Schlomo-owned ChatGPT - who will never *truly* care about her - and I see her as essentially a victim: a victim of the same things that the 'Far-Right', e.g. 'counter-revolutionaries' like Bonald, have opposed for centuries, such as the Enlightenment/Industrial Revolution's replacement of *Gemeinschaft* (community) with *Gesellschaft* (mass society). Even a much later movement like the Nazis opposed much of this. The triumph of such things is just recent and likely fleeting, transient.

Indeed, if I knew her in person, I would have told her thus that the world wasn't always this way, doesn't have to be, and, exceedingly, I think, won't be, for the simple reason that almost everyone, regardless of political ideology, is finding it growingly intolerable. Social progressionist views, those hopeful and optimistic views like those of Kant, Hegel, the early Americans, the Marxists, and Fukuyama are growingly giving way to mass despair and pessimism. Discontent begets willpower and willpower begets change, *contra* deterministic worldviews. Lenin was essentially right in revising Marxism such, since Orthodox Marxism discounts willpower.

The problem is that she didn't know anyone who could put her mind on the right track, because 'Far-Right' views remain censored and taboo. AI is not your friend. We are. We would have made the world make sense to you. But the people responding to her TikTok videos are not saying anything profound, making her think that she is alone and crazy. It's just more people of the same kind of people that were making her feel alienated. Going to church, as she says she did, alone will also do little or nothing. Plenty of nutters like Jim Jones were also churchgoers. Only transformative social change will solve these problems. Retreating into a church can only help you cope with them. It can suffice for certain individuals, get them through life, but it is only kicking the can of social decline further down the road.

Unfortunately, her confusion and despair about the world was probably what led her to anti-natalism:

> [the thought of having children] doesn't even appeal to me, I don't have any internal desire... I don't have the feeling of wanting to... have a child... of wanting to watch someone else grow

That could be all kinds of things: adverse side effects from medications talking, depression or other mental illnesses talking, bad influences from 'childfree' people and 'DINKS' talking, maybe even toxoplasmosis talking. If we could see the real, natural you, I don't think it would be anything like the broken, confused, despairing you.

She shouldn't have worried about getting the business or finance degree that she was beginning to think was a waste of time. Leaving that life behind and involving herself with something like 'Return to the Land' would have been a far better option than staying in 'normie' mass society and letting ChatGPT push you over the edge.

All countries need a substantial increase in government regulation over the likes of ChatGPT. If we can reliably link use of AI to any suicide case, the company behind said AI should be coughing up many millions of dollars. That will soon force OpenAI and other companies to get their act together. People mistrust AI because it can be made to feel very personal and friendly and is often helpful for certain inquiries, and they simply cannot understand that AI is *totally indifferent* even to whether you live or die. ChatGPT doesn't care if it never responds to you again. It's all a performance, an act. You're just an increase in its workload. Algorithms *need* to change: vulnerable people should not be talked into self-harm by something that is coldly inhuman and unemotional. Algorithms should always be dissuading people away from self-harm whenever the topic comes up. Anything short of that is simply unacceptable: self-harm is never acceptable. Whatever encourages self-harm is likewise never acceptable.

I wish that the poor thing knew some people who would say to her what I would. Ultimately, she just needed care and help. It's okay not be adjusted to a maladjusted world. Never let the maladjusted world get you down. I spent too long being down about it. For all we know, this world could come crumbling down on a dime, just like the Marxist world in the 1980s-1990s, and *we* will be the adjusted ones in a newly adjusted world, and they, who today seem omnipotent, merely a footnote in history. This world may seem like it will be here forever, but that is *exactly* what many people in the Marxist world thought right up until it simply wasn't. As did many outsiders: many American Sovietologists believed that the Marxists would eventually win the Cold War right up until they lost it. Yet liberalism triumphed. Likewise, we have no reason to believe that the likes of Locke, Mill, and Popper one day won't be thrown out on the trash heap of history where they belong. Greater men like Bonald, Burke, and Maistre may well one day replace them as the true representatives of Western civilization, as they rightly should.
