Wow. I believe I, for one, am in a decent position to comment on this essay as I’m usually Dissatisfied with reality. I often wish for something exciting to happen or something interesting which only I know of but as expected I often get disappointed with the results. I want to be the protagonist of everyone’s story(I admit it to be a quite cruel and apathetic wish) and quite unexpectedly I’m an amateur writer as well. Uptil a while ago, I was in a frenzy of seeking for the solutions to my eternal disillusionment problems due to my worsening situation of impatience and restlessness. Although I’ve got my answer, still it hurts quite a bit that fantasy can never co-exist with reality. Fortunately, I’m still young enough to reboot “my” sense of reality. I owe you, Eliezer Yudkowsky, sir. Thank you.

You are never too old to reboot your sense of reality. Remember that.
