Maths and physics are objective and humanities is subjective.

I think one of my biggest insecurities is accepting how.. old I am
I'm almost 40. I still run around and make weird noises. I ignore the random pain in my ankles at times. I want to sing. I want to scream.

And I refuse to conform to some old tired millennial stereotypes

This is not what anger is for. Anger is for getting you out of bed in the morning, making you take a step towards making the world better. You can replace your brain's reward loop with anger and that will cost you a great deal.
Anger is a sword; it poses a danger to the wielder. So respect it.

Society parried the ozone layer, acid rain, and Y2K back to back and instead of going "wow, parrying is badass" a lot of people went "society didn't even get hit so I guess there's no need to learn how to parry" and instantly took a thousand hits

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

I want to be abundantly clear: if you don't have any ideas, what you are saying is that you are not well read and that you have not lived a life.
Ideas will come to you the more life you have lived and the more well read you are. If you do not have lots of ideas at all times, just read more shit
