We've not had an economy that rewarded doing things people want or need within my lifetime. Possibly we never did

[kQq9oHeAz6wLLS]

Wait, that doesn't make sense. Are you saying you don't want or need any man-made thing? I assure you, many, many people were rewarded for designing, building, and selling the things you need and want to live your modern life.

However, I think it’s true that many more people were rewarded (likely even more) for things that people do not want. Facebook, etc

[singpolyma3]

Indeed I do need such things. The fact that reward does not accrue to those who provide it feels strange
