Having a purpose is the best way to obtain happiness.

[DangerAmbrose]

My purpose in life is to find my purpose in life. I still haven't figured out why I'm here.

You might consider this pedantic, but in a medical/scientific context its important not to confuse hypotheses and theory. a theory unifies multiple confirmed hypotheses in a logical framework.

What Dr. Modi is presenting is a hypotheses. An unproven, untested claim. And in this case its not testable, so strictly speaking its not even a hypotheses, its just an unsupported opinion.

Random theory without any research to support it.

Do a video on how Bloomberg refused to print two reporters pieces on Sam Bankman-Fried or the FTX/Alemeda fraud, 2-3 months before the issue became mainstream.
Don't forget to mention the reason Bloomberg decided not to run with the story at that time: It was deemed it would _negatively_ _impact_ investment firms that pay Bloomberg hefty fee's for advertisement space.

Finding purpose? No thank you. That just sounds like another job.

After 50 plus years on this Earth, I've grown weary from constantly chasing goals, setting objectives, fulfilling obligations and seeking purpose.

I look forward to the day when I can live unencumbered by the stress of finding the deeper meaning in everything.

I'll just be... and it will be glorious.

[gmlgml]

Yeah.
Deep.
What if I do not
give a fck about
butterflies.

Japanese has a word for "purpose" - ikigai. Well, so does English!...???
