An individual's cultural and societal background could impact their ability to cultivate alternative sources of self-worth in several ways:

- Cultural values shape what types of pursuits and achievements are most valued and respected. If a culture highly values achievements and skills that could be surpassed by AI, it may be more difficult for people from that culture to transition to alternative sources of self-worth. Cultures that value more humanistic and social pursuits may find it easier to shift to those areas.

- The level of individualism versus collectivism in a culture influences how people derive self-worth. In more individualistic cultures, self-worth is tied closely to personal achievement and standing out. In more collectivistic cultures, self-worth is more tied to social harmony and group achievement. The latter may find it easier to transition to more social and relational sources of self-worth.

- Available resources and opportunities are not equal across societies. For some, alternative pursuits like art or creative work may not be realistic options if their time and effort is demanded for basic survival. This could make it more difficult to cultivate alternative self-worth for those already disadvantaged. Policies may be needed to provide more equal opportunities to explore self-worth through diverse avenues.

- Mindsets are shaped by culture and society, and it can take time and effort to shift mindsets. Helping people recognize the need to cultivate alternative sources of self-worth and providing opportunities to explore new pursuits could help, but it will require a broader cultural willingness to value these alternative sources of self-worth, not just individual efforts. It is ultimately a complex societal challenge with no easy or universal answers.
