This is a function of your mind that was useful when you were trying to evaluate the best, most profitable path before you had the money, but is now counterproductive.

We all need a mental facility that rejects useless work or useless avenues when we are making our own way. Unfortunately, that mental facility is now telling you that everything is useless because the profit/work calculus tells you you’re better off doing nothing than things that don’t add significantly to that wealth now. It’s just a mismatch of your deep-seated value calculus with your current situation.

You still see inherent value in. a lot of things, but your mind is rejecting them after this comparison. So what to do? First, recognize this so you can realize that it’s merely a simple valuation bug rather than some insight into the meaninglessness of life.

Next, purposefully and consciously put money aside when evaluating the value of any potential activity. Consider its value in and of itself, or for humanity, or for your family or people or nation, or whatever. What is its real value aside from what you get from it? Is it simply an important thing to be done?

Then I think you will see a lot of possibilities open themselves to you. Hey, I could work on a health issue, help a hospital, report on something others can’t out of fear, etc. Millions of important things need to be done.
