Brain Primitives: Those things that make up the central core of human experience. Even by the year 2100, the brain will still have those primitives (or “human universals” in an anthropological sense). This is why I think that making music with manual skill will not be made obsolete by computers.

When you no longer have the job skill because you lost a job or had retired, what skill will be left or left to explore except social media--which interestingly uses mostly brain primitives. Skill gets you out of those lower levels.

Caroline Myss says that people often reduce their life's purpose to their job, as if the only reason for living is an occupation [1]. She suggests people think that if they get fired, they no longer have a reason to be born, or that they will die the next day because their purpose is gone [1]. Myss believes that people have created an off-planet God that is essentially an employment agency that runs a pension plan and a matchmaking service [1]. She suggests measuring one's worth by creative power, not by one's occupation, and allowing creative instincts and soul instincts to respond to what's needed at the time [2]. She says that people should not limit themselves by thinking they were born just for some task in a building or measure their worth by some occupation [2]. Myss also notes the shift from having a job or career to having a purpose, with more people feeling like they would like to live a purpose-centered life [3]. She states that people don't just want to be a "corporate slave" but a person who brings life to the world [3]. Myss believes the perfect job won't necessarily provide self-esteem, financial security, personal health, romantic love, an electric social life, and creative projects [4]. https://youtu.be/71BUbJNBDHQ?si=hrJt5thqaQuNl9Ug
