I appreciated this perspective. My primary motivation for pursuing deep work is due to an insecurity with my current ability to be useful to the economy. If this was validated or I solved the mental part of it, I suspect the anxiety would lessen a bit.

Personal circumstances and social pressure vary a lot around the globe, but I dare to suggest that the hardest validation to be won is very often from ourselves, so the latter to me. Take care.
