i don't know about the qualifications of this guy, or whether what he says about the difference between men and women has any bearing on reality, but what he says about wanting to solve problems and not just feeling good does resonate with me. as does having a purpose.

for me that connects to believing that the purpose of humanity as a whole is to contribute to an ever advancing civilization. that means even if one particular purpose that kept me going disappears, i can find others because there is plenty of help the world needs, and finding a new purpose is much easier if the overall purpose is: do something useful for the world and not: you are supposed to provide for your family. if you can't do that, you are useless.
