    I am not sure this logic holds well.

    People who are rich are still involved in society to the point i wish they would stop exploiting to chase more profit and just retire already with their near infinite wealth.

    And the actual retirees your refer towards that don’t do anything are usually old people who slaved an entire career for a total less then some rich “earn” in a single day.

    I do think people who build cool stuff deserve to be rewarded though, we could give them a cool artwork, trow them a party or just continue to respect and thank them for their accomplishments.

    Currently the reward is “here are the means that someone else could use to not starve that you can now use to go on a holiday with.”

      Society doesn’t run on good vibes my guy

      Also. You don’t think the logic holds up well? That is literally how it works and how most countries do it.

        Of course not, it runs on people wanting to live in and improve society.

        Money is a system we invented long after society was already a thing, it’s not a required part of it.

        Of course you are correct to think of me as an idealist but my general stance is that while perfection can never be archived you should strive for perfection to get closest to it.

        Combined with a lifelong pursuit of growth and improvement you keep getting closer to that perfection and the fact you cant archive it means there is always something else to improve and not get bored.

        That is my real life work attitude, how i can jump from “high level” complex tasks to “dumb” repetitive labor tasks while still having job satisfaction because even those repetitive labor tasks have a non perfect structure i love to keep improving with every repetition.
