Thanks, Poli. Don't have the time for it now...I'll get to it later.
30 years ago I wrote a long essay dealing with my ideas for how to deal with the problem we are discussing...and one of the things I included was a sort of list of how humans would use their time if not "working to earn a living."
There were some very obvious items: Play more golf or tennis; read, write, paint, create music, wash the car more often, tend to the house and garden, spend more time with the family, police the neighborhood...or lie around in a hammock doing nothing more productive than training a couple of trees to bend in toward each other.
At 82...I have lots of "free time"...and I can barely fit everything I want to do into my schedule.
As for "earning money" under these circumstances…not sure what your guy is gonna say…but that “thinking outside the box” thingy I mentioned is major league.
May have to do away with the concept of keeping score using money.
