Looking at what drives pretty much everybody I know, there is about a zero percent chance that any sizable portion of the population will chose to not work.

- wmf 5y agoIf everybody wants to work but nobody will employ them then UBI is still needed.
- Consultant32452 5y agoSure. Now let's imagine you're in the top 10% of competence that has to work and I'm in the 15th percentile so I don't have to work because the robots outcompete me. Why would you work all day at a traditional job knowing that I get to do whatever I want all day? I get to travel, spend time with my family, enjoy my hobbies, focus on romantic relationships, all while you're working. And not just me, 90% of everyone on the planet gets to just do whatever we want while you must work. Would you accept that deal? Do you think the majority of the most competent people on the planet would accept that kind of deal?
