> She has, in any material respect, a perfect life. She has food, clothes, a supportive family, a great job, plenty of money, etc. There is nothing "wrong" with her life.

Could be, but if you can figure out what exactly it is and how to package it nicely, then you'll become a billionaire overnight.

Could it perhaps be that there are things people need that can't be bought?

Hacker news is pretty depressing.
