It's probably because being unemployed means you're not making any fucking money. How is this hard to understand? If your needs are taken care of and you can play videogames all day long, that wouldn't be the case anymore. It's why increasingly more and more young men are perfectly happy to live at home and play videogames all day rather than integrate into society.

You are offering a delusional idea if you are really going to argue that people would be happy to work challenging jobs for no profit.


Did you ignore the second clause to that statement and the sentence before it?

There's a lot of good evidence that
1. Motivations for work aren't driven purely by monetary incentive.
2. Low subjective sense of purpose correlates with poor affect and mental illness, particularly mood disorders.

The hardline statements you are making in this topic are presupposing a purely monetary motivation with regards to work. This is superficial and inaccurate, and at best based on classical economic theory which is absolutely incorrect with regards to it's description of reality.

In reality, who knows exactly how much people will work, or how much they wont, but disregarding the possibility of the system because you believe monetary incentive is the only motivator in psychology is simply ignorant.


We already know how much people will work if there is no hope of profit. The answer is zero work unless you subject them to force. People aren't going to work for free, and if working just to barter their way into subsistence is their only possibility they're just going to work the bare minimum.

These people don't feel the need to work and they're perfectly content to either barely work or not work at all, while they live at home for years and just play videogames.

The vast majority of workers are motivated by profit. For the few people who can afford novelty in their career aspirations, they're still motivated by profit in large part.
