The whole notion of being passionate about a skill or industry without any context regarding means or ends is odd to me. It's like saying you should be passionate about banking. Sure, maybe, if you're helping people purchase a home or save for college or whatever. No so much if you're participating in ripping off poor people or just participating in a soulless gambling contest. Anyone who makes simplistic arguments with no reference to reality is either a lazy thinker or actively trying to take advantage of you. Why listen to them?
