   Let's dispel a myth: Universal Basic Income isn't about funding idleness; it's about funding potential. We can have a world where every mind has the means to chase their bliss. That's not simple charity; that's an investment in human capital at its finest. Imagine more Einsteins! And da Vincis.

     @scottsantens Also, if it is used to fund idleness? SO WHAT? We are collectively driving ourselves mad by not just _sitting down_ and _relaxing_ enough. We're always Seeing Things or Doing Things or Reading Things or Learning Things or (Re)Producing Things. We _need_ more idleness!
