I was referring to this argument: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs Again, I don't think that UBI is feasible as something dropped in this year or the next. But a concept we have to think about for transforming society in the next decades. Average productivity is going up constantly, and I think it will not be required for everyone to work 40h a week in 20-30 years. Whether that means some people won't work at all while others work fully, or whether everybody works 25h a week is one point that could be debated. But even if you're passionate about the topic, please stay civil! One more point to consider: even if I'm being fed by a soup kitchen and have a shelter I can go to in winter (which I have to leave every morning), this may not be a decent life. So you are correct in that those people probably won't die, but this not what I meant. Obviously there are many layers to the thing (pyramid and all), let's say I'd see the basic needs as having a place to live for your own with a fridge in it, and enough money so that if the fridge breaks you can replace it without a problem. My (socialistic fantasy?) belief it, that everybody in society should be able to do so, and I still don't necessarily see that as rewarding people.
