I am also fairly certain that if we do arrive at some abundant utopia where you can wish for anything can have it arrive, society will collapse. It's just bringing up 7 billion (probably more) spoiled brats at that point of time. Work on its own is also a form of "social control". Idle hands are the devil's tools etc. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If you can wish for anything and have it arrive, spoiled brats won't be a thing, because competition and envy for things will be pointless. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Imo instead of no-strings-attached UBI we should have something like the WPA. Spend ten hours a week or whatever working in local parks/schools/libraries/etc and get paid a basic living wage in return | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Throughout history, big advances have come from humans having more "idle time", so we should be aiming for the population to be less busy as they can then hopefully focus on pursuing the arts or sciences. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
