"I don't understand what you're saying, here. Are you saying that professionals don't, say, bake cookies for the PTA or their kid's baseball team? Obviously you're not saying that."
I am talking about the major compromises people make to make it up the corporate ladder or beat out their competitors. Ok, they may bake cookies, but the kids aren't coming to work, they're going to day care. Meanwhile, in case you hadn't noticed the middle class is disappearing. People are falling down or they are moving up. When I say "Professionals do XXX", I mean "It is in the best interest of professionals who want to remain professionals to do XXX", especially when the work could soon be automated. Of course, they may do all sorts of things in practice. The world you are talking about is not going to be sustainable for long.
