My point exactly. I could quite easily imagine my life without ever building a house. And so could everyone else. So your argument doesn’t really work.
I think we both made our points and that we disagreed. No need to be obnoxious about it, you can just stop replying if you don’t enjoy the convo.
But yes, if I didn’t have to go to work to buy food, I would help build stuff, work on various interesting projects that would have me, etc. Absolutely no way I would stand still adding nothing to no one.
Its what universal basic income is proving, people are still productive, but how they went to be & what they like doing.
None of these activities produce anything
Don’t they? Imagine people thinking a bit more, having free time, etc - the effects on politics, local quality of living, and so on.
I would much rather live in a neighborhood of people reading books all day vs working in a factory all day.
Reading books doesn’t build houses
Nope. Building houses builds houses.

I don’t really see how you can speak for everyone.
What are you even trying to say here? Are you trying to make a point of any sort or just being obnoxious?

That’s a bit different though. UBI means people can survive without working, but working will still drastically increase their quality of living.
And sure, you may still work if you had no benefit from it, but would you put in as much time as people do now? And how many other people would?
