The Epstein Class believes that providing citizens with enough money to live a decent life while not requiring them to work will spoil them and turn them into useless marshmallows with toxic ideas, anti-social behaviors, and will actively tear at the social fabric.

Many experiments in Universal Basic Income have proven this to NOT be the case.

However, empirically, it turns out that giving someone 50 billion dollars causes them to cease making useful contributions to society, turns them into useless marshmallows with toxic ideas, anti-social behaviors, and they actively tear at the social fabric.

@emenel @mralancooper Sadly it seems to be "both", there's enough research to show that having more money/power than most people fucks your brain, but you're also not wrong in that most people who acquire so much wealth did so because their brain was already fucked.
