Does this extend to salary, wealth, or other more adult signals of status and achievement, or are those actually the goal? There are just a few logical steps off the path of social expectation that will lead you to either solipsistic narcissism or the opposite direction to Zen Buddhism. The middle path is there not because we agree with it, but because we can’t decide what we do agree with.

(quoting the article:) > Now you can make lots of money by making cool things I know I am in a forum that talks about startups etc. But I wish and believe this "get loads of money" mentality will die in this century. This is an even more important lesson to unlearn. I also believe that if it does not die, its side effects, like climate change, will kill us.
