    I think it’s a great idea.

    We are the wealthiest culture ever, we can afford it.

    It would zero out most crime.

    Fighting to survive is beneath us.

      I don’t know if you really know how much money that represents. Would you still work? If not, who will make your food, everything you buy, and why?

        I coincidentally heard something about that today. Sadly in German but according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGE8jzGZ7To

        80% of people said they would continue working

        80% of people thought others would not

        We seem to expect worse of others than of ourselves. Even if it turns out to be that 40% ends up stopping to do anything remotely useful, it’s at least worth trying and finding out what works and what doesn’t imo. Having the right to choose how to live your life freely seems like an enormous benefit that a minority needn’t ruin
