"so, when are you going to grow up?"

i'm not going to "grow up".

but, i can write you an essay about how the state tries to use time as a coercive mechanism to push down conformity, if you'd like.

"growing up" is just another way to say "selling out". religion used to plan people's lives out for them, in the form of "sacraments" that celebrated checkpoints on the path, as the bureaucrats laid it out. marriage is important because it leads to a new generation of taxpayers. and, the purpose of labour is of course, to pay taxes.

out of all of the things that we're going to need to abolish in order to become truly free, this capitalist concept of "adulthood" that we've erected, which is truly when a human starts to pay out in becoming a taxpayer, is one of the most fundamentally important concepts to jettison, because it is so fundamentally irrational and so fundamentally enslaving.

and, if that kind of talk bothers you, then congratulations: you have been successfully brainwashed to the correct condition.

p.s. you're late for work.
