If not for paying bills, buying food etc,most people would probably be ok. Enough and excess, we still ain't figured that out in our little finite world.

Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

how is that not marketplace minimum wage?

Because the very notion of a "minimum wage" implies that force/coercion is being used to grant that pay. You wouldn't call the lowest wage in a marketplace a "Marketplace minimum wage" because no force/coercion is used. There is no minimum that a set person has to earn. In your scenario the market has determined that the job in question is the least valuable but not that it is the "minimum wage." In an unregulated free market there is no "minimum wage."
This should be obvious.
