Why should someone's reward for creativity be tied to his or her
health and well being? Why should someone's lack of creativity also be
tied to health and well being? What are some other ways to inspire
creativity and hard work? How much more could be accomplished if
people felt free to pool their creativity?

It's possible that the survival of the fittest is no longer a useful
concept (it's not a "paradigm"), especially applied to human society.

What if...

What if I wasn't so idealistic?

Why is there air?
