This is how I'm looking at it. What do I mean by that: The purpose of Life Purpose is to align yourself and remove inner conflicts/friction, with AT LEAST the purpose of meeting your basic needs. And one of our needs is to have an aim to look for. To align our whole lives, our habits, environment, relationships, desires, interests, aversions, etc. Akin to a spiritual process (but not quite) Life Purpose is more of an alignment of what you'll do with yourself in Samsara, in Maya, in The World, in how you will build/align your EGO, as opposed to deconstructing it and having nothing to do with it. Why do you think one of the goals of many spiritual masters is to simply teach and pass it forward? They have to rebuild their ego somehow. It's like an AI system that has a broken reward function, and keeps spitting just probabilistic text completion (i.e.: GPT-3), we aligned them towards conversational format, and they spontaneously emerged with useful general intelligence (ChatGPT). In which, we can solve tasks with a single prompt, as opposed to having to do black magic to make it do anything useful. All of that happened with the SAME architecture. And now, with even LESS parameters, even less "capability" it's still capable of out-performing just text-completion models. Just the same way for a person, someone completely all over the place needs all sorts of shenanigans to even get anything done, they need to get their "committee of the mind"  completely on-board, and it's a massively expensive and complex process to be done EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY FROM SCRATCH, because you KEEP LOSING MOMENTUM, because it's not BAKED INTO YOUR MIND, BEING, ENVIRONMENT and RELATIONSHIPS. It's like the old crappy Large Language Models like GPT-3, you had to waste a ton of your precious tokens/text/prompt window just PREPARING IT for the INSTRUCTION TO COME. Even if that instruction was to "Calculate 5 + 5 ". You had to give it EVER SINGLE TIME a whole paragraph of examples. But now it comes without extra effort and less processing power, and it can do more. They are EXTREMELY INEFFICIENT, just because their training was misaligned. In other words, their VALUES were misaligned. The things they feed their minds are misaligned. They are feeding their minds and spending their days filled with garbage. What will their minds output? Garbage. No wonder, people without even the most basic guiding principles can't even get a handle on their basic psychology. Of course, if you lack the material environment, or lack of enough "compute power" i.e.: You're distracted by internal or external causes, emotionally unstable, poor health, self-caused ADHD through engaging in highly dopaminergic activities, etc. It will become much harder to retrain and align yourself, but once you're slowly building leverage, getting through certain milestones, at some point it stops becoming a black hole sink of time, effort and energy, and it is becoming a virtuous positive cycle, where you are even GETTING PAID TO SHARPEN YOUR SWORD. Like training an AI to train another AI system that's more lightweight and takes less resources and can output more useful stuff than an old, misaligned and inefficient model.
