Honestly, there was some useful stuff to ponder after reading this, since I don't think the problems are necessarily limited to super rich people. The goals and meaning of life are issues that hit us all.

Edit to clarify: this made *me* ponder things given I was already thinking about life and everything else going on and what I want to do in my life.

So that takeaway of “money isn’t everything and an ulterior motivation in life is needed” was definitely an apt reminder, regardless of which form it was delivered in.

This specific guy’s midlife crisis is a bit too out of touch - from calling people NPCs to only being in a relationship as long as it benefited him, to, uh, whatever that was with DOGE, and I hope it goes without saying that I hope to never find myself in that situation.

"I know. This is a completely zeroth-world position to be in. The point of this post isn’t to brag or gain sympathy. To be honest, I don’t exactly know what the point of this post is. I tried to manufacture one, but I just felt like a phony. Then I recognized the irony of creating purpose out of a blog post when I don’t currently have much conviction or purpose in life."
