There is room in this world for every corner of productivity. He's doing some very good work; other people are doing very good work in exactly the other fields you're talking about. One is not inherently better than the other, since it takes many different outcomes and works to create this thing we call society. In fact, you could say that the maximal way to be productive might be to be diversely productive, since it produces the widest array of new ideas and conclusions, and tests every nook and cranny of possibility. Surely we have enough people in the world and in the country to provide for that diversity.
