And I don't think the answer is to pretend you're a rock star while you're working in a diner.

I think the answer is to recognize that you have a great deal of spiritual power and you could be living a life of meaning.

Not by the metrics of the culture, meaning means glitter and blowjobs.

I mean, meaning might mean that actually what you do in your life every day is worth something to you and to the people that you're with.

It's interesting that you said about it having a Zen quality.

Because, of course, function and meaning are the same thing.

If you can go in a room with pieces of wood and two hours or three hours later there's a table or a cabinet...

Or a chest of Jaws cover coffee as well, please, dear Nicky.

Thank you, mate.

Thanks a lot.

Then your life has value and meaning, observable, visible meaning.

That hadn't been created.

We live in this kind of brokerage age where everyone wants to be an influencer.

And I guess a salesman was a kind of previous incarnation of it.

In fact, precisely what I'm advocating for, in a way, with this blockchain Amish idea, which I didn't know was what I was going to be on here promoting.

But no, that is.

That's my soul.

That's my raison d'etre now, the blockchain Amish, is that if you had a community where you knew that your role was we have to feed this community and we have to provide energy, there would be meaningful labour involved.

Meaningful organization, meaningful exchange.

I'm not proposing a kind of Luddite.
