 @3967703f I am in my 50s and I have a doctorate, and I still wonder where the adults are. You know, the ones who know what they’re doing? The adultier adults? Then I realize (again) that everyone is just improvising and hoping it works. The adults I looked up to were also hoping the real adults would take over and fix things. Adulthood is just a fantasy we are all telling ourselves, seems like. 
 @3881e1df Yep. EVERYONE is flying by the seat of their pants. That's all we get. Forever.
