The Heir's trying to wrap his brain around the notion of vocational incompetence as somehow being a form of "creativity."  It's not.  He thinks about the otherwise sensible adage, "All work and no play makes one creatively dead," and thinks about how that adage can be twisted and corrupted.  When he was at a summer job 30+ years ago, the atmosphere was such that if you tried to tell your boss that you weren't being incompetent, you were being creative, he would score you as insubordinate and fire you at will.  Reform of such supervisory abuse has done more harm than good in the long run.  If you don't pay your dues, you almost don't deserve to have your hedonistic fun, and it's that much more likely it'll all be taken away from you in a supernatural fit of bad karma.
