Stop letting other people decide what you are and when you're allowed to move on in life, to a place of their choosing. Simple truth of the world is that these stages of development don't in of themselves have spiritual significance. We mark them to know what our body does and will do, and ask questions about ourselves. Too much self-indulgence is retarded and pointless.
According to them, I'm a permanent child or teenager, but I have many of the same expectations as a 40 year old male would have.

With the destruction of technical knowledge - you can only fight against a society designed to poison and torture you so much. They really, really don't want you getting any idea that you can build a single thing without permits and approval. The rulers make it clear they do not want a productive economy.
