I challenge you to prove that in the economy and society we currently live in. I disagree most vehemently when you are talking about the business of creating new things as a whole. The world would collapse. There is no magic machine or mechanism that will provide for all people's basic needs. If there were, the creative people would be free to create, but it simply isn't true. Without pay for creativity we will be back to hunting and gathering in virtually no time.
