In fairness, it ended with being paid obscene amounts of money. Lost of people consider life a valueless delusion. For most people life is a frustrating grind, and there was never any light at the end of the tunnel. So there never was any delusion of living a meaningful life. Plus they have no money either. The reality that much of the HN crowd has to come to terms with is that you'll probably never find your passion project. Most people don't, and if they do, it's a fleeting thing that only last a couple years. Otherwise we're here to make money and live as comfortably as possible. That means valuing the right mix of boundaries and compensation. It's much better to focus on living meaningful lives, our relationships, and make best use of the free time we have.
