This sentence rings true in so many ways.
Your "bigger game" mindset that you were describing is exactly what my end goal is in life. I want to make the most possible money with the least amount of work involved. I honestly couldn't care less about contributing to humanity because I know that there are people who are smarter, stronger, and lack my mental health issues doing that job better than I could hope to. My only motive is freedom and pleasure above all else.
I don't think I'm alone in this mindset either. I think we are going through a major paradigm shift right now because more people are waking up and realizing that working for 40-60 hours a week is making them unhappy. Millenials get such crap for being lazy but I think that people are just tired of struggling. There is already a major shortage of qualified people in certain jobs that require 8-12 hours of work each day like nurses, health professionals, firefighters, police, and other jobs that are important for a society to function. Also, there are an abundance of things one can do to make a decent enough living without working more than 30 hours per week that didn't exist 10-20 years ago.
Anyways, I know that I'm rambling at this point my bad haha
