Thats not true anymore and is the issue why its unclear.

I work and do something very specific, a lot of people around me do not need what I do.

I need water, food, energy, I don't know anyone personally who is providing this for me.

Then we have A LOT of people in our society (no critisism here) who get food, housing energy etc. without satisfying anyone.

What i want to say: 1. in a highly automated society there is a real disconnect between you getting something and you doing something for it.
