I came from the other end wherein I believed social safety net and welfares breeds parasitic behavior. But now I've come to believe the benefits of those programs outweigh the negative aspect where a section may starts taking undue advantage of it.
In the absence of such safety nets, I think people will go for more safer bets which make them financially stable as opposed to riskier bets which may bring innovation but could also endanger their livelihood.

- myth_buster 11y agoThe "prisoners dilemma" arises from politicians & the people in power playing society for their benefits. Homogeneity is not a necessary condition.
