unfortunately if you show a guy like this to a 15 year younger version of himself, the younger version will say "yeah whatever dude" and go back to playing wow. the panic and anxiety about the future has to happen organically, and typically the transition from high school to adult life has plenty of clear warnings that its time to panic. your friends stop hanging out with you and move away, peoples schedules dont line up, you cant afford college and have to start taking loans, you fail the prerequisite test to get into a college course. theres so many chances for a person that can be saved to think "holy shit i need to get on adderall and work like hell or im fucked", that if it doesnt happen i think the person was never helpable.
im 10 minutes in maybe he addresses this
