Of course it's not the idleness per se that's the problem, and what's left? Nature/nurture, so I think you're right. For example, if I were to enter "idleness" I don't think I'd be buying "bling" nor beat on people. For me idleness is awesome, it makes me creative.
- dwaltrip 13y agoI completely agree. One might even argue that idleness would also give well-meaning people the free time necessary to work on effort-intensive community projects that might help mitigate the problems the comment above mine was concerned about in the first place! But humans are tricky creatures, and I can see how it might turn out poorly. I think community interaction, events, and promotion of constructive activities (opt-in and minimal government interference, of course, we still want to maintain freedom of ideas) would be a very important part of any pro-idleness society.
