I dont know about you, but I would love the opportunity to just have my bills paid, while I pursue some passion project. Write some code for broad utility and GPL it. Maybe paint. Maybe teach some neighbors' kids how to code. Maybe help the neighbors with a few things, so they can have time with their kids. Finally build that 3D printer filament recycler for those plastic cups. And print toys for the neighborhood kids by how much they can collect.

Share. Build. Dream. Learn. Live.

Its not that these things arent contributing to our society. Its that these things are not itemized by a monetary value as part of the GDP.

And I think that says something about the way we run our economy, more than it says about "laziness," or whatever hustle-culture sales-pitch theyre calling it now.

People are passionate. If someone lacks it? Someone or something trained them to be otherwise - usually mistakenly calling this a part of "discipline."
