“How do I take this experience and use it for something useful?”

There’s one more level to go in this game. It’s not hard. It just has another parameter: consumption.

“How do I act so that I find (or give) more usefulness than I consume in resources?”

Every species but human manages it, and we used to. Then we invented priests, mercantilists and royalty to tell us that our usefulness belonged to them instead of our grandchildren and the planet.
