Tell me more about that.
How has your sense of meaning in your life evolved?
How has it changed over your life?
How do you find meaning?
I agree with you.
Yeah, I think that's a wonderful answer.
I mean, there's something about the happy poor person, isolated rich person thing that I agree with at the same time.
You know, seeing what grinding poverty does to people's minds and breaking them down with exhaustion and demoralization.
You know, there's obviously some kind of a sweet spot for there.
You know, I mean, I've had to work quite hard in different parts of my life.
And I was just very aware of the soul grinding, you know, not having enough, wondering where your next meal is coming from.
And I have it nowhere near as bad as some.
But the thing that was absolutely, for me, unbelievable about working for NASA was the idea of solving complex problems with people you trusted and people that you thought really had your back.
And no organization is perfect.
But, you know, the idea that there is not a zero sum game.
Right.
I mean, you want the whole team to succeed.
I mean, even if there are missions you think should have been lower priority or maybe we should spend more money on this and less money on that.
At the end of the day, you want whatever is going on to be fantastic and you want it to succeed and you want all the people around you to succeed.
And the idea that, again, I mean, this isn't hunter-gathering.
