I wanna quibble with this just a little bit. People work. Left to their own devices, with their needs met, people will dedicate their energy toward generating value.

What no one wants to do is a job, which is an arrangement by which several of us have to do more in exchange for less so one of us can do nothing all day and then complain that "nobody wants to work anymore".

If left to my own devices, I'll generate art. I give it away and almost never sell it. A lot of it is bad art and has no value.

Nah dude, it is only "bad" and "has no value" in this capitalist economy. Keep making art, it is valuable.

Thanks! I've never let it bother me. I make funky stuff for my own amusement. I go by the horseshoe theory that priceless is the same as worthless on the 'value' scale. Maybe it's more like an ouroboros than a horseshoe? Anyway, I'm not afraid of making things for the "art bin", I make it to exercise the idea.
