Lying awake worrying about whether or not you're adding value to the human race leads to shit like this. What I'm trying to say is: people should just do what they're good at. As long as you make a decent living, you're contributing to society. What is, let's say, a cleaning lady or bus driver supposed to think of your "value for the human race" criterion?

What? The cleaning lady and the bus driver create more value for society than almost anyone.

The problem is only that their contribution is not properly valued.
