Burnout Isn’t a Breakdown. It’s a Wrecking Ball.

A single comment — ‘post-burnout, post-psilocin, post-agentic’ — reveals a radical reframe of what burnout actually is. Not a failure to cope, but a deliberate phase of deconstruction. The old identity burns down so something that doesn’t require constant self-optimization can emerge. Recovery isn’t returning to who you were. It’s letting that person stay dead.
