So far in human history the only people that were able not to work, but instead have an effortless lives devoted to "art and culture" were members of aristocracy. This happened few times, since the ancient civilizations till 19th century and always resulted in that "noble" class degenerating into bunch of perverts. Basic income would result in pretty much the same, just on larger scale.
- gnaritas 11y agoNo one said anything about devoted entirely to art and culture; I said there are other things that fulfill people besides work. Also aristocracy's issues weren't art and culture, it was wealth and power that lead their degenerating because as we all know power corrupts. So no, basic income is not pretty much the same, in fact they're nothing at all alike.
