Now it's relevant for like capitalists. It's relevant having people at work that feel mattering matters for how much money a company is making.
Now it's relevant for like capitalists. It's relevant having people at work that feel mattering matters for how much money a company is making.
And I bring that up in part because I think of mattering and this kind of value that we have, like the value that we feel about what we're doing at work, what we're doing in terms of our friends, just that we're having a kind of important causal impact on the world. I think that we just don't realize how important it is, right?

Top economists who were making predictions in Jan Emanuel's data set, they said they were wrong about how important this factor was. And I think this gets to the idea of we don't matter to other people, but maybe we don't matter to ourselves or like we're disconnected, not just from other people, but disconnected to ourselves.

I think that we just don't understand how important some of these factors are. And therefore we tend not to invest in them very much. You get back to my Yale college students. I just gave you all those depressing statistics.

I mean, where do these levels of depression, anxiety, and so on come from? I think it's, I mean, it's lots of factors, right? There's probably not going to be one smoking gun for sure. Otherwise we probably would have fixed it by now. But among those factors is the idea that students are just like really paying attention to their own individual pursuits, right?

Especially at a place like Yale, right? What these students are trying to be good at is good at their own personal academic success and their own extracurriculars. They're like building up their own resume, right? It's me. That's the focus. And it's hard to matter when it's really just about you, right?

Mattering really involves connecting with other people, doing something that is important for the world. At Yale, they have this slogan, for God, for country, and Yale. But I think it's for God, for country, and Yale. These are things that are bigger than you.
