This means that 70% of people are doing BS jobs (including me). Basically we've made information access and curation a full time job for 70% of the population. INFORMATION CURATION!

The other 30% is doing all the hard work of keeping people fed or in support roles of transportation and construction for the information curators.

That quite a leap. Even ignoring other potentially beneficial jobs, do you really think that modern supply chains ("support roles of transportation” of food) can function without the internet?

I had to do a double take before I realized you were talking about me as well. We live in an information curation economy indeed.

I wouldn't say that's inherently BS, though.
