The word profit is given negative connotation because lack of morality and unchecked greed. People should be rewarded for their labor

People should be rewarded for their labor
I agree, but not by purposely deceiving and then selling endless "products."

You both have a great point here and I think the answer is somewhere in between. Fiat has made a lot of very scammy things profitable. Meanwhile many carpenters, plumbers, house cleaners sit at median income.
After a lot of thought my only decent solution is that the working people demand more. This seems to be happening in society as we speak. And I don't mean some type of Marxist rebellion, simply a re-balancing one working individual at a time.

I agree with this. The laptop class (which I am apart off) become slaves to an email inbox yet the salary we make is ridiculous to what a mechanic or a roofer.

Where I live, plumbers and carpenters make BANK. House cleaners, not so much.

In hourly wage it seems but it doesn’t come close to a money manager. Why do you think the brightest minds get sucked into wall st? I think the pandemic exposed how little work traders do yet reap a tremendous rewards and profit. I think they are more unproductive than politicians and the rest of the laptop class including software programmers.

I read the Art of Seeing, by Aldous Huxley years ago. While it didn’t fix my vision, I haven’t been dependent on glasses since. For me, it frees me from my glasses, I don’t depend on them as much. It does frustrate my wife though, since I can’t see details.

Yes, I am currently reading it and the cure of imperfect sight without glasses by Bates and started experimenting with the method.
I love how they helped me understand why we have eyesight problems in the first place, as knowing the problems is the first step to solving them.
