the kinds of philosophers you are describing have contributed nothing to humanity but fodder for pseudointellectuals such as yourself. people who have to work for a living appreciate the importance of what they write. they fail to digress from their points because they have a shift tomorrow. they know the value of their work because they measure it in carbohydrates expended rather than letters frivolously dispersed.

The average person is not interested in the bigger picture or in philosophy, let alone creating philosophy. I know plenty of white collar people who have more than what they need to survive, and they spend nearly all their free time staring into their cellphones and watching Netflix. This idea that if we give everyone a bunch of money and free time that they're going to start churning out exemplary works of art or science is as naive as it is preposterous.

>>17443308
Or they'll automate some of those jobs away (as they've already done at some McDonald's) or increase the cost of their goods because a fixed cost of doing business (wages) has shifted. Increases in the cost of goods leads to lowered demand, which means lower revenue, which means they'll employ fewer people. You'd probably end up with a similar total value of wages but it would be distributed to fewer people. Look at Australia—they have a higher minimum wage than the U.S. ($19.84 AUS, which adjusts to $15.10 USD) but the cost of goods is also much higher.
