I like your point earlier. However, I think what you're missing is that not everything HAS to be transactional, and that humans can have value outside of what they offer society. Existential value is tragically overlooked.
If you and I are looking at a tree, you might see cubic board feet (I am picking on you here, because you selected the transactional view point earlier), while I would argue that the fact that the tree exists is enough and that if we reap benefits (beauty, oxygen, habitat value for other critters) from its continued existence, that's great! Let's plant more trees.
Again, abstract, but worth considering :)
So you don't have to be skilled as long as you're good looking.
I think there's something to that.
We have models after all.
