universal basic income

 ‘If you just give everyone enough to live on and
 ask them to decide for themselves what they have to contribute to the
 world, well, sure, you’ll get an army of bad poets,
 lunatic schemes to invent perpetual motion devices, or annoying street
 musicians, but if just one of those poets turns out to be Dylan Thomas,
 just one of those inventors actually does invent an anti-gravity device or
 some such, just one of those musicians does turn out to be John Lennon or
 Miles Davis… well, you’ve
 pretty much got your money back.’

This was the quote from David Graeber I was referring to when we were
watching those Beatles things on Youtube.
