This is a weird complaint. You're getting depressed because the things that the world wants and rewards with value are things you don't want to do? Aren't you saying that you don't want to do what other people value, but (implicitly) you still want to enjoy the results of doing valuable work?
- the_cat_kittles 14y agoA good point, and I have struggled with this idea alot. But, I don't think you can simply look at "what the world wants" as the final word. I think you have to temper that with what might be good for the world. My guess would be that the person with the complaint is really expressing their feeling that information products aren't doing something good for people. I haven't consumed any, so I can't say.
