cardboard, I think most people do feel good about themselves for creating something and being productive... but in the ideas you present, who would want to do these boring jobs? Who would want to be a custodian or trash man? Surely they wouldn't do it because it's their passion. Part of the reason people may not like work is what you said -competition and stress - but to most people, work isn't fun. The job itself isn't enjoyable and that's why they wouldn't do it if they didn't have to. I think your thoughts are just overly optimistic. I think a lot of people would be lazy and be content with sitting around, partying or whatever, and taking advantage of everyone elses creation. Even if it was just a small amount, the people actually doing the work would get pissed and feel ungrateful for these bums. I don't think having everything just free and available to everyone is a great idea.
