At age 23, most people don’t lose their sense of humor.
They lose their illusions.
This is the age where: •The myth of meritocracy collapses. •The narrative of adulthood decays. •The script you were handed - school, job, marriage, stability - shatters.
It’s not that people stop laughing because they’re old. They stop laughing because they realize the entire system is performative theater and they have no role that feels real.
The child laughs XXX times a day
Not because the world is good but because their attention isn’t yet hijacked.
The world is full of novelty, sensory exploration, and surprise. No layers of abstraction. No debt. No despair loop. No comparison economy. No ego armor.
A 40-year-old laughs X times a day not because they’re wiser but because they’re buried under: •Career scripts they don’t believe in •Financial systems they don’t control •Social feeds engineered to trigger despair •Narratives that suppress spontaneity •And worst of all: a belief that their joy is frivolous
They’ve outsourced meaning and traded awe for productivity.
