I suppose this is a moment to allow the stream of thoughts in my mind to coalesce into coherent ideas that can be built upon.

It would seem that humans need some sort of purpose, and whether this is due to some metatruth inherent in the Universe at large, or is simply a coping mechanism of a biological organism with the ability to self reflect and contemplate, it is nevertheless a useful factor to approach and develop in one's life as not only does it present the potential for develop better tools for dealing with life, but it also yields the potential to improve life for all.

Why should one improve life for all?

Well, regardless of whether or not one can verify the existence of other consciousnesses outside of the self, the world seems to operate as though it is true. In fact, it could be said that it is best to approach the world as though the other seemingly conscious beings are, in fact, conscious. It is also best to meet this concept with the interpretation that, in a general sense, one's experience contains many attributes which are fundamental to the experience of all conscious beings. With that in mind, it should be noted that the experience of others and the perception of others has an affect on one's own life and, as such, it should be in the interest of each individual to assume that improvements for the lives of others should result in an improvement in life as a whole, including the life of oneself.

With that out of the way (for now), let's talk about purpose

If one is to choose a purpose which possesses the potential to improve one's life, as well as the life of others, then there are a few areas to expand upon:

1. Subject
2. Should, perhaps, the purpose be defined by goals and activities which relate to a subject to which one is personally interested? Why? i. It would seem that having an interest in the tasks one partakes in is beneficial NOT ONLY because it is more interesting, but also because it can be argued that there are many axioms by which the actions relevant to the task will be performed at a more highly functioning level, can be repeated and refined, and can be performed for longer periods of time. All of this translates to an undertaking of a task which should be performed and completed with a higher degree of success.

Conjecture -

It has been argued that setting oneself up to engage tasks through a structure of purpose, whether by convincing oneself or by going through the sets of thoughts and related actions which can be perceived as being logically bound through a higher level scope which assumes a purpose, is not necessarily the true means by which a human pursues continuity and improvement. This can be argued against, and it may be fruitful to argue both sides, as this might not only reinforce one's modus operandi, but might lead one to new ideas which are better suited to higher achievement.

The case for purpose might involve a few of the following:

• Optimal orientation of character
• Long term planning
• Pursuance of decisions the consequence of which yield an increased likelihood of the emergence of universal benevolence and prosperity
• An overarching system for intelligent decision-making
• A system of language to describe action which can be communicated and received in an active and appreciated manner. That is to say, when values are expressed to which humans can universally relate, and when the tangible aspects of the decisions and actions involved in the propagation of these values are ones which bear the potential to provide a benefit to the listener, then perhaps the listener can better afford the time and contemplative faculties conducive to understanding the components of this system of actions.

So why to start a company?

• Create record of work which was done
• Direct it such as to aggregate reputation
• Interest in one's work might lead one to higher levels of achievement and performance
• Producing the best work possible means creating more progress
• Ensuring that this progress is related or completely proprietary towards the improvement of technology means that the effort can be more useful towards improving life for all beings
• If the lives of all beings are improved, this is a net positive for the individual as well, since the environment is improving
