Howdy. I’ve been writing these posts for a couple months now and have enjoyed chatting with some readers about these topics. Talking with people has helped me gain more clarity on what I’m aiming towards with this substack. On that note, if you have any friends that might be interested in these ideas, I’d appreciate you forwarding them the substack. More feedback is v helpful. xo.
Interesting to think that each of these entities (economies, governments, religions, non-profits, media outlets, and academic institutions) have a role in advancing a more "existentially relevant" or "meaningless" society - the results of which are based on their incentives.
A project like this would invent a new path to offer a clearly defined compass with transparent incentives, which I like way more than trying to redesign the incentives of the incumbents.
Reminds me of the Henry Ford quote "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."
I like the idea of looking at my own life through the lens of existential relevance. Like, what will I find relevant 100 years from now? Helpful!
