Being aware of things like neuroplasticity and aphantasia is a good thing. It allows people/permabegs to set realistic goals for the future. If you’re 25, there’s a very very slim chance that you’ll make it as an artist. Just give up and focus on other things instead of wasting your precious time working towards a goal you’ll never attain.

If you know you’re gonna die next year, why bother learning a skill that takes years to master?
