"Look at communities today where a large percentage of people live on government aid." pretty sure i live in one of them, so tell me what i see. "People need a reason to exist and meaningful work to do." how are they managing now? most people have a lot of meaningless work and i don't know anyone that can tell me the reason they exist beyond empty platitudes. "Very few have the drive and discipline to become artists/inventors/philosophers/musicians/actors." you only need some special drive for that stuff, (collectively called playing), to push forward with it while working a day-job. "Plus the majority of those who do become artists are unlikely to create anything that the rest of society would value." roughly all of them, really. at least that's how it is right now and i don't see why it would change. "We need a better solution than basic income." k, let's do basic income, then see what needs improving ;)
