I had a discussion with OP in the past [1]. It basically boils down to him believing society has advanced to the point where not every one has to work (due to automation etc). Basic income (BI) should therefore be implemented and the societal perception of idleness/laziness be removed for people who don't work. The OP's motivation for this stance seems to be partially to justify his stance for ceasing search for work. While OP's circumstances seem to work for him (living with parents, welfare support), he does not understand that it wont work for the majority of people. He is basically wanting society to already behave as if BI has been implemented. I can understand that the OP is getting tired of job hunting. It makes sense he believes working is not necessary and I actually agree with the OP somewhat. However, I think the only reason he has this stance is because of his difficulty in finding a job.
