RE: The Moral Question of Using Unconditional Basic Income to Refuse Employment

in #basicincome8 years ago (edited)

You appear to want a society that is beyond money. So do I. To evolve in that direction, it is imperative that we decouple money from work. Money cannot be seen as something people require in order to live. As long as that is true, people will care a great deal about money and how to acquire it. Once a minimum amount of money is given to everyone simply for being alive, people will begin to look differently at money. Money will no longer be required to live, and so people will begin to look at money differently, as well as work differently. People will find other goals in life than money, goals like relationships and personal development.

sure I look at the end goal and I agree with the quote here... BUT... the top 1% will make sure it doesn't happen, the top has serious track records proving this. And that explains my stance against UBI, that among other things.

ps: a world with people working out of passion is a world of creators, that's the only metaphysics that can save humanity.
