Where would you like that time to go?

People prioritize about 33 percent of that time to relationships.

And then morality and aesthetics are tied in second place, close to 20 percent.

And then in the third place or fourth place, I guess, is play and leisure.

And then in last place by like a large margin are civic sort of responsibilities.

It's pretty funny.

Yeah, I mean, such an interesting question.

I think probably it's the case that people in the art space do.

I have some other work, which looks at self-reported artists' feelings of true self and also third party, so people who don't have artist jobs, what they think artists' lives are like.

And we get kind of similar results that people think that, so third parties, people think that people who have artist jobs like a painter or a poet, that they get to like sort of bend the rules at work and they get to break norms and that those things afford being like a sort of autonomous agent and being who you really are.

And we get first person accounts.

So people who have those jobs say, yeah, at work, I do feel like I get to be like sort of creative and break, push boundaries.

And we contrast that to people who have moral jobs who maybe thankfully say that they don't feel like they can really push boundaries in that way.

And those are jobs like, you know, being a doctor or

you know, a firefighter or something like that.

So we do see pretty consistent results when we look across these like different methods.

It seems like people have in mind the same kind of thing, which is like the free artist.

And to some extent, it seems to match reality.

Yeah, thank you so much.

I really had a fun time chatting.
