Yeah, no, this is a privileged position. Even if I might opt to take that posture myself, it's not a normal position.

Most people have a need for an income and also, don't hugely differentiate between their work being BS or not. Also, many people who think they are not doing BS work, might very well be doing BS work.

Most people have families, responsibilities, children, parents that need support, mortgage payments, car payments, healthcare needs etc. - and work for the money, not some notion of 'impact'.

They generally want their jobs.
