Would it also be a good thing if we also limited the numbers of authors, poets and musicians in the world to the number "strictly necessary"?

Why or why not?

My take on it is that in the absence of omnipotent global co-ordination / allocation of resources that the "surplus" people are basically doing discovery. They are discovering the actual market size, exploring adjacent markets and all sorts of things about executing dog walking apps and apps in general etc.

I don't know if these are "bullshit jobs" or not, I'm not even sure if dog walking apps are necessary at all, but I'm not sure how we all figure that out without a discovery process.

I did enjoy the article, it made me think.
