Short excerpt from a talk by Mark Hamilton arguing that humans are designed to create rather than merely produce routine value; he warns that over-emphasis on value production leads to stagnation, boredom, and erodes happiness and meaning.
Value producers will eventually just lead to.
Stagnation and boredom, and eventually life will become.
The meaning of life. Happiness eventually just drains out of our lives as a value producer because the human mind was made to create. It's meant to create. It's not meant to just produce the same routine.
Process, the same task and the same mental functions day after day. It's meant to create and break into vectors of creation and create and bring new values to society again. That's what brings humans happiness.
