Why are we automating all creative human endeavors and none of the annoying chores?
Why are we building towards a future where humans clean toilets while machines create art?
To what end?

The end is capitalist maximalism. Hiring artists is expensive, so they get automated away. Hiring janitors less so.

Why are we sticking to capitalism?
To what end?

We're sticking to capitalism because capitalists are the ones making the investments and the laws and the decisions. If you want to change the system to something other than capitalism, pick up a gun and start a revolution.
And the end should be obvious, because capitalism has one and only one goal - making the capitalists richer.
