then people who work harder or risky job will figure they better not work and enjoy life

No. People enjoy the feeling of being useful. They want to contribute.

Speak for yourself. If I could afford to not work I absolutely wouldn't work.

studies on UBI shows that to be a pretty uncommon stance.

So, if your food and housing was taken care of you would just stare at the ceiling all day?

[-] Gaspar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

I might, if that's what I felt like doing that day. The first thing I'd do would be to sleep for a year.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Of course not. I'd probably spend most of it hiking or pursuing other leisure activities. Things can be fun without being useful.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Absolutely. I can live without working but I do bc I want to be able to do those extras, the sense of accomplishment, as well as socialization.

There's a difference between not being employed and literally doing nothing.

If you don't know what to do with yourself when you're not being literally told what to do for the majority of your week, that's a you problem.
