MinmiTheDino“If you give ppl UBI, everyone’s just going to be making pots or painting or something!”
Good!! Good! Can’t express how much more I want to fill my home with pots and paintings than with a stovetop that inexplicably connects to the internet.
Keira (She/Her)@minmi exactly this.
And people will actively choose to do useful things (including pots and paintings) because deep down most people just want to please someone and go to bed feeling like a Good Dog, at least some days.
I've never yet met an adult who enjoys doing nothing useful, ever. It just might take some people a while to dust themselves off after their long period of workplace mistreatment.
@keira_reckons no, truly. Like you think of the human endeavors that really made us better off (polio vaccine?) and they were developed by people doing Herculean tasks cause they wanted to help. You actually don’t have to pay ppl that much to make the world better. The big money goes to ppl making it worse.
@minmi exactly
