There are a great many things I would like to do, but don't do, simply because it is not economical. Even when I find employment doing something I enjoy, I am forced to do it at an increasingly fast pace, and I know that what I'm making is low quality garbage that will be discarded quickly. How can one be expected to take pride in their work under those circumstances?

Capitalism murders your soul, and blames you for being soulless.

And most of the work that actually contributes something to society has shit wages, while the jobs that don't contribute anything or are detrimental to society have insanely high wages.

I'm secretly hoping that AI takes out banking jobs and VC first, just so that that the moneylickers have to confront their new reality of who they are without it

People are generally good and will even freely donate their time for things that contribute to society. That creates an excess of labor available for those jobs.
