If money has no meaning here, then what do people do with themselves? Adventure for the sport of it? Build things only to watch them gather dust?

I prefer problems that bite back or explode in my hands, but it seems difficult to call that work in a place where every need is already seen to.

So. What passes for an occupation here—when merit and coin are both irrelevant?

It is not the money which drives such people, but what they can achieve with it. Those things are the same in its absence.

Is not creating something new and intriguing its own reward? The process itself hones you into a better form.
