I love your take on looking at that Pew stat on what gives peoples' lives meaning and seeing the lower % categories as low hanging fruit. Jobs and families tend to take up a lot of time and many of the other categories tend to be happening on the side (if people have family). It's exciting to think about the possibility of what our culture would be like if people were able -- either by AI or by re-prioritization of time -- to put more energy into religion, pets, friends, hobbies. AI or not, that feels like a good prescription for a more meaningful life. Thank you for your research and your musings, David!
