    Also, you didn’t choose to share your profession with us. It makes me think that you’re attempting to create a social media presence of your own.

    Either that or I don’t think value is only subjective to what you do for a living. That my opinion is somehow less valuable because I don’t fall into a specific field you perceive as valuable.

    I’m just saying that without those who work in physical reality, creating tangibles with tangible things, make the mental edifices possible.

    And often those non-tangible things help to give those who make the tangible things the willpower to go on. It’s not a one way street, where value is only created by those who create tangible goods and stolen by the intangible. That’s a very pessimistic, if not “holier-than-thou” perspective. As though anyone who doesn’t do what you respect isn’t worth as much as someone who does.

    Like I said, a very boomer attitude.
