That's fine as a personal anecdote, and to be honest you sound burned out. But making absolute statements like "it is not satisfying to the soul" does not help your argument at all.

Happy to provide my anecdote. In my 40s and I still live to build/create.



> But making absolute statements like "it is not satisfying to the soul" does not help your argument at all.

It is my soul. If it is not satisfied, who are you to tell me different? We all have to chop wood, carry water.


They are taking issue with you writing:

>it is not satisfying to _the_ soul.

Instead of writing:

>it is not satisfying to _my_ soul.

The first could be interpreted as you speaking generally (i.e. you think no ones soul can be satisfied by building tech or whatever), the second makes it clear that you are talking about specifically your soul not being satisfied.


It's zikduruqe's soul not yours. In my 40s I would have said the same as you. In my 60s it's starting to feel meaningless. People are in different stages of life.


Shit I am in my 40s and it is already pretty meaningless
