        Well, maybe he means that you should celebrate actual achievements instead of dates that just happen every year. The YouTube video he linked didn’t tell to completely stop celebrating birthdays. Just limit it to a total of 20 birthdays for most people (you get more if you live really old).

          What if you’re working the same 9-5 job five days a week and it pays you well and you’re happy yet you don’t have any new achievements

      Have we really gotten to the point of being demeaning to people simply because they celebrate their fucking birthday?
