" are you committed to the notion that there is no useful distinction to be made between bullshit and productive labor? "
I suggest that there are at least two definitions of useful. 1) profitable and 2) useful as a tool to do other desirable things. Any creative person knows that #2 can exist independently of #1. I sometimes think entertainment products, like computer games, exist just to pacify and harness (for #1) those that don't know or have forgotten that they can invent all new things.
