The author, as it seemed to me, opened the topic of three semi-related issues -

  people who've done an incredible amount,

  social media and how he reacted to growth,

  and how life is after you've reached (what seems to be) your highest point

- all of which are fascinating, yet did not wrap any one of them up.

All story's only have one ending.[1] As long as it's entertaining there really is no need to try and wrap things up.

[1] And then after a while, everyone died.

I strongly disagree, for entertainment is not the only reason I read things.

The internet is filled with bad advice walking around as anecdotal just so story's. If you are looking for more than entertainment, I suggest you avoid anything that shows up in 'story' format.

That's true. I was hoping to stir thought in the reader rather than provide an answer.

If I had to wrap it up, I think it would be that we have to strive anyway even if it's "futile" in some sense of the word. Because of course it isn't. We do what we do, and that's enough. Perhaps there doesn't need to be a reason, a goal, or an end.
