It’s a frustrating essay, because it comes close to having a helpful message. A phrase like “being engaged” seems closer to what he tries to get across, but a lot of young people will probably mostly take from this essay that they need to hustle, which is the kind of useful advice you’ll hear from a high school guidance counselor.
One must not forget that PG has an agenda to push just like every other influencer. I believe he was specifically aware of his use of hustle culture language.
