Lmao you don't have proper political opinions at 17

I don't think that's necessarily true. Tons of young people are communists. OP being politically illiterate doesn't have to be for their age, though that's likely part of it.

Your endocrine system hasn't even let go of the controls in your brain yet. Don't let a guy who is so prone to substance abuse make important decisions. Once the night shift takes over a lot of your "airtight and very clever" philosophies will seem simple, trite and one dimensional.

One day you'll be in the shower getting ready to start your day. Nothing particularly significant will have occurred to you the day before, but the "perspective shift" happens and all of a sudden, you won't know why you ever felt the way you used to. Scary as shit, comes out of the blue, and definitely doesn't happen to us all. But it's a cool achievement to unlock and lets you respec for a conceptualization bonus.

If that does happen, I hope you remember this thread and have replay. See if you are still the same you as you were.
