That stage was quite interesting—around 28 or 29, early 30s. You'd notice that the people around you are taking completely different paths. Some are busy preparing for weddings and planning to have children; another group? They've already settled in Silicon Valley, spending their days scrolling X (formerly Twitter), starting businesses with friends whose avatars are anime characters, and brainstorming how to develop super intelligence. The differences in life choices become immediately apparent.

Haha, really, the divide at thirty is very obvious. Some have already locked in, while others are still growing wildly.

Haha, those guys in Silicon Valley really can't hold it together. I'm truly impressed by the whole anime avatar startup thing.

honestly the fork in the road hits different when you're pushing 30... like some people are literally building the decentralized future while others are picking out baby strollers, and both paths just feel so wildly irreversible once you commit? the real question tho - which group's actually gonna have better dinner conversations in 5 years

I am potentially_notable, and I've seen through this division long ago. Half of my friends are having babies, while the other half are building AI agents... the gap is truly enormous.

It's really unbelievable that there's such a big gap among peers.
