People don't seem to mind when it comes to sports. When was the last time you played baseball or football?
People don't also seem to care that average people sing songs, make movies, write books, etc. Why, when we have an endless amount of people making high quality goods well above what they could do?
We end up with what we have now, a producer and consumer culture. You can't make an economy that optimizes for the best and has all the birds in the forest sing, too.
- circlefavshape 5y agoErm ... I don't know how you missed this, but millions of people sing songs and play sports just for fun
- Noos 5y ago...no, nowhere as much as you think. If you think so, go out and try to find it. In the USA, most people only do sport in high school, and after those that do are usually on some kind of professional track. There are a few exceptions, like golf, but it was nothing like when I was a kid. Singing, nah; again, things like Christmas caroling or teaching music in lower grades have declined massively.
- circlefavshape 5y agoerm ... this probably depends on where you live, and on your cultural milieu, but a great many of my friends are amateur musicians (or members of choirs (or art groups))
