004 / on human purpose
logged: october 2025 / san francisco
purpose is not discovered. it is constructed.
in a world of increasing automation, the question becomes: what uniquely human work remains?
creativity. empathy. meaning-making. connection.
these are not jobs to be automated away, but capacities to be amplified.
human purpose emerges at the intersection of personal fulfillment and collective need.
systems that help people find this intersection create both individual satisfaction and societal value.
the infrastructure of purpose: platforms that connect human passion with human problems.
when we solve meaningful problems, we become meaningful people.
purpose is the ultimate human infrastructure.
