Right now our economy basically runs on carbon at the core. We make stuff, move stuff and emitting carbon is necessary. If we switched our economy to owing and moving information, then we could still have full-employment, move money in the ecosystem while from the viewpoint of a materialist, just be moving useless bits around.

I think we already have a lot of high paying jobs in the economy that don't do much and pay people to do nothing (of value). We should absolutely spread that around.
