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.

@mralancooper The rich are in a competition to become the one and only immortal god-emperor with uploaded AI consciousness making endless copies of themselves and living in space. The rest of us are just getting in the way, but they haven't figured out how to get rid of us yet.
