Passive consumers are great - as they consume the stuff the creators produce. "cash cows".
Well a passive consumer consumes only. A creative consumer also generates value, something that can be consumed. People who move to consumer only will become useless as anything other than a mouth to feed.
Does being a creative consumer mean being like Bill Gates in the end?
What do you mean - rich?
Probably not. But, one can have a pretty good quality of life. If we look at the hierarchy of needs as a model of some kind, self-actualization is at the top. Most people aren't even getting close and we can see it in the world today how few of those points are being adequately met.
@tarazkp, I agree with you!
Yes, Currently, Koreans believe that they should be rich like Bill Gates.
Of course you will be against Bill Gates.
Sorry, With my current English ability, it is difficult to understand your words.😅
