I'm suggesting that "useful to a business" is currently over-prioritized compared to "useful to an individual." (And yes, it's driven by consumers, but if one's basic needs were met without working 8+ hours a day, maybe those individuals would have different preferences.) And I think the claim that it's evolutionary necessary for us to have today's model of firms and full time employment is particularly out there.
