Episode Synopsis

Core Concept: Unconscious building produces five costs that reveal themselves at seventy-five when it's too late to rebuild.The Five Costs:Time misallocation—fifty years solving wrong problemsRelationship erosion—connections that formed around your absenceIdentity collapse—self that dissolves when function endsLegacy that never was—discovering comfort isn't permanenceRegret without recourse—seeing clearly too late to rebuildThe Alternative: Face the questions now (what are you building, is this what you want, are you conscious or unconscious, what will remain) while you can still act on the answers.The Choice: Temporary discomfort of consciousness now vs. permanent regret of unconsciousness at seventy-five.What's Next: Integration of Movement One—synthesizing the diagnosis before exploring the three paths forward.
