I think 'left brain' work also has a lot more predictability (knowing you can churn out ~X widgets/hr) so having only uncertain 'right brain' work can be uncomfortable for people to build their livelihoods upon.

That being said. 'right brain' work is certainly more fulfilling for me.

Absolutely. Not everyone can be consistently creative, and without a large enough financial buffer, it's a recipe for disaster.

Great point. That's one reason I'm increasingly a single-issue voter focused on UBI.
