The world needs less gas stations, fast food, and sprawl in general. Lots of businesses are doing fine where I live and there are a ton of empty office parks.

Google meet works for my team. We have a few rooms dedicated to hang out in during the day. Some people leave the camera off, others don't. It reminds me very much of the office where if someone has a random question there are already people around to answer it. There is no expectation you have to be in a room but lots of people do it because it is fun and interesting.

Spoken like a true type A personality. Lots of people don't need their ego fed constantly at the expense of others and are happy just being creative and thoughtful.

Creativity is not just cognition and pattern matching. There is something more fundamental at work... obviously calling it 'magic' doesn't describe it, but some people call it 'inspiration' and they feel it on a physiological level. They starve and torture themselves to serve it. To recreate something like that you would need to simulate not just a human's biology but an entire world.

Its sad that we have been conditioned to see creativity as an 'urge' and a 'luxury' rather than some integral part of life.

Formal analysis is how you solve problems. The part where you use it for control and abuse... is the dark side of humanity.
