@fifilamoura @anildash that line of thinking always drives me insane. Hobbyists and enthusiasts do tons and tons of stuff without being paid. And that’s before you consider all the unpaid labor at home that makes society work…

@Ashton @anildash Yes and while we all have to figure out a way to be able to survive in capitalism, a there are certainly lots of bullshit jobs out there, there's also work that people do because it's intrinsically satisfying or interesting to them. People often just don't want to do bullshit jobs, the type of jobs the "people only do things for money" often create.

@Ashton @fifilamoura @anildash I'm reminded of Sandel's book
"What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets" which is a general-audience book on the topic of where financializing things often undermines intrinsic motivation.
