And this is the real question (not the rhetorical "why does everyone need to have a job?"). Can people adjust culturally to the idea that guaranteed income/wealth/whatever could be a good thing, and lead to a pursuit of creativity and innovation, not merely hedonistic, fleeting pleasures? I.e., can we as a society accept the possibility, and make it a reality, that a guaranteed income (in whatever form it takes), frees us from mindless grunt work and inspires us to pursue our dreams, or do we force those whose jobs have disappeared to suffer poverty because there is no 'need' for them?
