A short YouTube monologue by Mark Hamilton arguing that the defining human essence is the capacity to create values (unlike animals or plants). Hamilton claims many people are blocked by 'following mode' from living as creative value-producers; liberating oneself to create values and live in harmony with this essence leads to happiness.
What is your true essence as a human being? We are the only thing in the known universe that can create values. Dogs can't create values. Kangaroos cannot create values. Trees cannot create values. But you can create values. Now, a lot of you are blocked from creating values because you're stuck in a following mode. And we deal with that. We liberate you from that to fulfill your essence as a human being and to become a creative person, creating values for society. That is our essence. And once you live in harmony with your essence, you're happy.
