Consider for that for a very large number of people, it's about possessions, thus this consumer culture, that is going to get a rude reset, when that 2 billion years of stored sunlight starts to run low.

You do have an inquisitive mind, so I'm not knocking it, just saying it might be more subtle, than "purpose."

When to focus and when to chill.
