There are people who are consciously choosing the "tedium" of growing their own food (look up homesteading on youtube), instead of pursuing startup ideas. Both options have tedious grind (coding something that you're already an expert in can be no more challenging than pulling weeds), and both have tons of challenges and opportunities for personal growth.
- vraivroo 8y agoYes, because one of the flaws in the human brain is finding "meaning" in "having to do a lot of work". I don't really care for that. They're going to die same as me, and they're as unlikely (maybe less likely) to contribute anything lasting.

- scarejunba 8y agoConvenience is what allows them that. Look at what you just said: “on YouTube”. Part of the ability for them to talk about their lifestyle choices comes from the convenience of having YouTube to share it. That’s the true beauty of convenience. Would they be as fulfilled if they were unable to share? Probably not. They reached greater heights of self-actualization because of this. And what made that possible? Digital video recording, not flipbooks. An internet connection. Not carrier pigeons.
