I’m really worried about existential depression at and beyond that age. Hopefully there are some (legal) drugs for that, I don’t really trust my own mind to get me through that (and after 70, I’m not really worried about a substance dependency).

Which is why, I guess, people decide to do wierd things like getting a degree at 72? :)

How old are you now? Just wondering how worried I need to be when I get to your age. :P

47. Right now I’m only worried about being depressed rather than actually there. It’s existential dread about existential dread…so very meta.

Is that the definition of a mid-life crisis?
I'll see you in a decade and a half, I guess. :)
If I make it for a few more years than that and I feel like studying, then why not? I mean, I probably won't want to, but if that guy want to study then good on him!
