"That meaning’s not in the building, the winning, the name. It’s here in the breathing, outside of the game."

What happens when automation and robots take over all the work? What gives people meaning when there’s no more “job” to wake up for?

They didn’t have a clear answer. But I’ve been thinking— It’s not just a personal crisis. It’s a developmental journey.

Different people find meaning in different ways. It’s not random—it depends on how they’ve grown.

Here’s a quick map from Spiral Dynamics:

🔴 Red: Power, thrill, dominance 🔵 Blue: Duty, order, faith, following the rules 🟠 Orange: Success, achievement, winning 🟢 Green: Love, equality, community 🟡 Yellow: Systems thinking, seeing the bigger picture 🔵 Turquoise: Truth, flow, embracing life as it is

💥 Even if work disappears, humans will still play new games based on where they are on this spiral.

This song is about that. About how we will still chase something—until maybe one day, we let go.
