    What’s wrong with doing what’s fun? Necessity is an interesting motivator. The problem is when capitalists commoditize necessity.

      There’s nothing wrong with having fun, but if people just did what they wanted to do all the time, society would just straight up collapse.

      How likely is it that people’s preferred jobs match up with exactly what is needed?

        Squirrels don’t have jobs. There isn’t some overly complex system in place to keep the raccoons doing a repetitive task to ensure that hollowed or trees are available to them. The spiders don’t own those trees and almost exclusively benefit from the raccoon’s labor.

        Human society should absolutely collapse if it can’t exist without all the inequality and suffering.
