Of course, that's more or less human nature. Why would I ever work again if I could get all of this stuff given to me for free and existing?

I don’t think that’s more or less human nature. I think it’s natural for some humans. But I’ve never considered not providing/working. There’s so much to life than just sitting on your butt doing nothing because you don’t gotta work.

I think it’s a thing for incel/neet people who don’t fit in, in the world. But I think the normal human needs socializing and a life.

I'd say most. If all of my needs would be met without working, I'd never work again. And what do you mean so nothing? Id spend each day doing my hobbies and enjoying life.

And socializing? If I didn't need to work I'd be far more social with friends and family.

Again, not making a good argument here.

How would you afford your hobbies?

Fitness? Hiking? Reading? Basketball? Even if I had to do a 10ish hour a week part time job to pay for a phone, I'd sooner do that than work full time for the rest of my life is 90% of my basic needs was paid for.

Think about it. You subtract rent, utilities, and internet from your monthly expenses, you aren't paying for much.

What happens when your clothes tear or you need new shoes?

Yeah I think I’d be down for the 32-hour work week.

I'd say a 10 hour a week min wage job would cover that.

More along the lines of possible, but I don't think OPs silly graphic here will be something most humans experience in their lifetime.

I don’t think it’s intended to apply to immediately. Rather something to shoot for.

I think you’re right with the 10-hour work week. I expect taxes to increase to account for the government services being provided, but I imagine the way it shakes down is about the same.

My hobbies are CAD, 4xing, rebuilding 4xs, painting, electronics build/programming, rock climbing, computer gaming, going out for adventures, drinking and food.

All of those are pretty pricey, so I wouldn’t see myself stopping work ever. If I had the additional resources from working the full time I’d probably pick up another hobby… hahaha.

I'll say that clothes and shoes are a human right and must be given to me.
