> You'll be poor. Most people are poor. > Most ambitious people Most people are not ambitious. > Personally I think a minimal basic income could go a long way toward eliminating bullshit jobs Is that something we really want? I read an article a few months ago about a government program that literally created bullshit jobs for willing, unemployed people to go to so they could keep up their skills. People who went through the program reported increased feelings of well-being from the conjured-up sense of purpose. Personally, I'd prefer a bullshit job over no job. Hell, even in a non-bullshit job, there are plenty of things that come with it that are bullshit.
