Pulickal, Pearl Bipin: Scarcity-Driven Self-Development: Intellectual Urgency and Accelerated Learning Psychology ~ Pearl Bipin Pulickal

This note examines a psychological and intellectual phenomenon characterized by intense future-oriented self-development driven by a highly specialized form of fear of missing out (FOMO). Unlike conventional social FOMO, the phenomenon described here is rooted in anticipated future regret regarding unrealized educational, linguistic, intellectual, and personal potential.
