Kurzgesagt has proposed Nihilistic Optimism as a tongue-in-cheek but grounded way to look at it. (https://www.asktherightquestion.org/the-philosophy-of-kurzge...)

I’m more or less a practicing Stoic and non-believer. Life never had any meaning, you have to create whichever one you can.

If someone can take away your purpose in life, it was too influenced by external factors. I get it. Someone stole my start-up away from me, you go through a period of anger and despair.

Do some shrooms, if you can and find your set and setting safe enough.

Focus in your hobbies. Have a kid ;)

Good luck stranger. I both agree with you and empathise with the despair. I hope the world rebuilds anew, with less elites, less power, less greed, less attempts and making humans redundant.
