No life purpose seems meaningful enough

To take some pressure of the whole thing re OP: a japanese women once talked about ikigai, and she said: "in the West, you take it so serious, you make it so big, this purpose thing. In Japan, we sometimes just use the model in a way of "what gets me out of bed TODAY?

Japanese are so conformist it makes me doubt they have any thoughts at all. 

If confucius was a monopoly man they would all be entrepreneurs and shit.

What we need is not more influencers, I agree with you on that, but more people helping others one on one. People want to make a bunch of YouTube videos , they end up being shallow and highly generalized much of the time , because they want fame, when they could help more by learning to do one on one work. That's my two cents.

Working one on one requires the right personality type. You gotta be a people person.

I am much better at making videos than working one on one. It suites my personality better.

@Leo Gura yeah but you also don't strike me as an influencer type . I'm referring to people who care more about clout than value.

Obviously that has never been my motivation.

Interesting angle.

I consider myself a people person but I don’t have the patience for one on one. I rather work a crowd, in real life.

I find one on one very time-consuming and inefficient for my personality type.

In a way, one on one works better for introverts.

@Miguel1 Besides the introvert/extrovert dichtomy there is an additional people/things dichotomy.

For example, women tend to be interested in people while men are more interested in things and theoretical abstractions.

I am more interested in metaphysics than I am in people.

Coaches need to be interested in people. These are helper professions like nursing or therapy. That doesn't suit me because I need to build out my own ideas.

And then you are supposed to pick life purpose and be productive and do more of that. But what for? There is already too much. 

That is what we call a limiting belief and the scarce mindset like Leo talks about all the time.
