Contributing to society shouldn't even be the desired metric. With freedom it often comes as a byproduct.

If you don't care about contributing to society, then:

"shouldn't" -- according to who?

"desired" -- by who?

"freedom" -- with regards to what exactly?

I guess ... enjoy your old age when you're unable to work but not part of any society you contributed to, I hope people will care enough to spare some "freedom byproduct" for you.

I probably will. Additionally it allows me to see value in life just for the sake of it.
