Just like in Role playing games, where people want to do awesome things and empowered, people want to feel valuable in day to day life.
This means that they want to have an impact in their social circles and or in their work (life). They want to have meaning.
They might want to increase their impact by studying and reading, which means you can gleam insights of this person by their anti-library.
When the feedback loop is not closed, it turns into hidden impact, which feels like no impact at all for the people creating this unnoticed impact.
