I think you've gone completely off the rails here. You said everyone should be free to just do the job they want. I pointed out that perhaps what people want to do wouldn't match up with what actually needs to be done. You started banging on about squirrels rather than admit that what I said is actually probably the case.

I've never denied humans aren't in intense competition with each other. I just don't think it's relevant to point to squirrels as an example of how humans should work, they clearly are very different from us.

Alright. What needs to be done?

What, in the world generally? Do you genuinely want me to list every job that needs doing?

You'll forgive me for not doing that just because you've entirely missed the point of my argument.
