That hurt to read, because there are some genuine words of wisdom sprinkled around in her post among a much higher quantity of drone-speak.

Being busy working on things you care about CAN be good for you and help you define the meaning in your life. But holy shit it's not because having a better title or more money makes you a good or happy person who isn't dead inside. The whole fucking point is to find out what gives your particular brain contentment, and not to mindlessly seek the rewards society tells everybody they must strive for.

And her changing the world with her slop startup, while paying to promote her post so more people can read about how awesome she is, lol. Funny how we don't see these posts from people working long hours trying to cure diseases or improve the world. Maybe it's because those people actually feel validated and content and don't have to desperately farm for it from strangers.
