Yes but that skill set is not needed for a productive society to remain productive.
It comes back to the old argument that we pay CEOs, sports owners, sports players, and actors/actresses insane amounts of money for non-critical jobs and pay our teachers, fireman, EMTs, police, and military next to nothing when one can say they are a million times more valuable to society than the first group.
