Psychologists explain that the deep tiredness many people feel after 55 that sleep doesn't fix isn't physical fatigue — it's the accumulated weight of decades spent maintaining a self that was built for other people's approval

The ethics were real. The performance around them wasn't.

When does a value become a performance of that value?
