"That's not what I said, as I did not say anything about motivation, for one."
I would be sincerely interested to know what you meant in greater detail then.
"You cannot separate culture from money in any money-using society."
In my view, you can. Money-using is just one aspect of our lives. I do not agree that anything
I do in my life is connected to economics. I do know of views that say just that though.
Also, I am not saying you should separate culture from economics, I am just saying you cannot
limit cultural life to economical interaction within the society.
"As long as people have to earn money for a living, combined with the
tendency to require a huge amount of time at that, the question is then
if people being able to invest a majority of their time, effort and
skill in creative endeavors is desirable."
True. Let us return to discuss this point a little bit later though, so that we do not get confused. The above points are enough for now, I think!
