Those seem incompatible to me.

(UBI means Universal Basic Income, giving everyone a basic income, for free)

    Eh. Some yes, some no.

    I think that a better solution would be creating jobs that pay a living wage, much like we did in the Great Depression. Something that would give your life some kind of external structure. I find, for myself, that when I have zero time pressures from work, that it’s easy to do nothing at all, and I’ve found that most people are the same.

    EDIT: SHould add - jobs should be scaled to capabilities, rather than being one-size-fits-all.

      I think that part of the reason why is that work has (many of) us so beat down anyway. I imagine there’s probably a certain amount of time where that tendency will dissipate and you’ll want to be productive again.

      Fuck the 40 hour work week.

        I’ve seen it in most people once they have no external pressures to do anything. Not everyone. But def. most people I’ve known that weren’t loaded with money and could afford to travel, etc. without needing to work.
