Hmm
my sister is going through some meaning crisis, doesn’t know where she’s headed in life, says she lacks purpose in life, etc. Trying to think of books, articles, etc., that could get her through this. Any ideas?

For me http://meaningness.com helped me quite a bit. Strongly influenced my ideas on meaning and purpose

i like meaningness a lot but it's a hard read if you aren't ready for it and it doesn't exactly *answer* the question "what do i do with my life"

we apologize for the inconvenience :( Btw there’s some new stuff on purpose up on the site which I haven’t publicized because it’s from the 2007 draft, but maybe better than nothing. Explaining the complete stance for purpose is high on my priority list atm fwiw

I’m bewildered by all these claims that materialism doesn’t work. It seems to work fine?

Bizarrely, some people seem to think *I’m* an altruist with a “mission” because I do literally any things helpful to others, ever. Dude, if you want to get paid, enjoy the work, and have any positive relationships, you have to be helpful *sometimes*.
