Now, the spiritual tradition that I come from is all about particular practices that evoke certain subjective experiences.

And as people have those experiences, their sense of purpose increases.

And this is where I think there's a major shortcoming of science.

So science can tell you what you should do, but it doesn't create experiences in and of itself, right?

So we can scientifically understand that the highest risk factor for pornography addiction is having no meaning in life.

But even if we know that, that doesn't help us like fix the problem.

And there's always a question of how.

Like so we can discover something with science, but then there's a question of how do we actually like move from point A to point B. And that's where I find spiritual practice is incredibly helpful.

So my first question is, what's the point of this conversation?

So for y'all, I'm curious when y'all show up here, like what is the purpose for y'all showing up?

Can I jump in?

I just want to make sure I understand y'all's point.

So you're saying that the search for purpose, first of all, is never going to go away, like is a human condition, right?

Yes.

So as humanity, humanity will never find its purpose.

I can tell you why, if you like.

No, no, I don't even know why yet.

Yeah, I'm just making sure I understand, right?

So an individual can find their purpose, but as humanity…

It's never going to be solved.
