You can't change people with a formula. There's a lot of lazy people working now today, to the detriment of society and the economy. Think of the opportunities though, a bunch of nerds could move up to the countryside and work on nuclear fusion and cure for cancer instead of having to apply at a bank or some ladder-climbing corporate gig.
- noreasonw 11y agoI think that if you are able to do deep research in nuclear fusion or a cure for cancer you should also be able to find the way of earning a good salary under any circumstances and at the same time finding a way of allocating time for your real passion. Great people become greater under difficult circumstances. I don't think basic income should make a real difference in that. You can't change people with a formula but I think there is a lot you can do to motivate and coach people, opium is not a solution. Could be basic income the opium for the people?

In theory, sure. But in reality, most jobs suck. Even if you are of that level, odds are the job you'll get is going to be emotionally or mentally draining, and at the end of the day, you'll really just want to relax.
