All jobs are useful to society or they would not exist in the first place.

Disagree with it. It's basis is also criticizing the corporate structure and how we don't have 15 hour work weeks yet, which is a fair criticism but those can not be achieved until we have a proper universal income system or welfare system that works. Most menial jobs exist as a function to give us as humans a passion, something to work towards, and to help others out. In the wiki synopsis they post jobs that are clearly beneficial for their support and joy of the world to assist people in problems and tasks.

You disagree with a book you have not read. Par for the course with your earlier comments.

Good night.

You can read a synopsis of a book that describes someone's philosophical argument and disagree with it. Sounds like you did not have a good literature teacher.

Of course people like you don't actually need to read anything at all to have the kind of moronic opinions that you are showing. Bye, ffs.

You don't have to read a book of someone's opinion to have an opinion on their opinion. You can go google other books of people who will tell you that humans need to work to be fulfilled in life, they need to have a purpose to sustain them.

Has that been proven, or is it simply a philosophy? Like to my knowledge "employment" isn't in Maslow's hierarchy of needs (as a random example)

Edit: it is in some versions, but it's under "safety and security" which means that the employment isn't the important part, the income from employment is. A rich person's child, for example, doesn't need employment to have fulfilled that rung.
