"we could have a society oriented around the arts and sciences, pure creativity and discovery instead of bullshit jobs "

I'm afraid your statement implies a misunderstanding of what 'the economy' is.

'The economy' is people providing services and building products for one another.

So that guy who waited on you at the restaurant, the girl who did your payroll, the guy who delivered your mail, the person monitoring your blocks internet connections, the person who planted crops, the person making sure your street is safe to walk down ...

Those 'bullshit jobs' all exist for a reason - because they provide value to someone (like you), and we are willing to pay for it all by doing stuff for others as well.

'The jobs' that we do are a function of what other people in the economy 'want done' in terms of products and services.

Not a function of 'what they want to do'.

If you don't want to do anything that 'helps others' - that's fine, but you can't expect for them to help you in return if your 'lifestyle choice' is 'windsurfing'.

But when we do help each other, the whole is actually greater than the sum of the parts (i.e. comparative value) - and that's where we really start to win.

Most of the things you need done for you are not that fun. It'll always be that way.
