She said: "No one has an automatic right to a living or anything else that must be provided whether they like it or not by others." I said I don't share her opinion. She said in a hypothetical utopia she agreed that people would deserve unearned income. I said It's only because we live within our current economic system that we don't think people are entitled to an unearned income. ~PM

Isn't that what Samantha wrote? That's exactly the fearful mindset which created all of our crisis. We believe that people need to face severe consequences in order to contribute relevant things to society. The fun thing is that today we got billions of people getting paid for not contributing anything meaningful. Instead of unconditionally taking care of everybody and having (most of) them find ways to do wonderful things for other people we legitimize and maintain a system which despiritualizes them and which forces them to sell insurances, study crap like tax laws or build factories producing throw away screw drivers and tv sets with low quality capacitors which will break after a year. So if you want people to actually work for their society (and not against it) then you should in fact take care of everybody unconditionally. That's not even rocket science. If you force people to struggle for survival they will do the most irrational and horrible things. A high entropy, fearful mind is a de-evolutionary mind.
