Very well written article, it gets into the core of the problem and explains the hidden patterns. I want to articulate few other variations of this just as a reference.

- The productivity gang, if everyone is so productive and so well organised then what are the outcomes of this productivity?

- Self help - if self help books are solving real problems then where is the need to buy multiple self help books?

- The course trap - if someone is already earning millions dollars where is the need for him to sell $699 course

These are some questions I would ask myself regularly, there is nothing right or wrong because end of the everyone has to servive.
