In such a case, will the concept of money be wiped out from existence ?

    Yeah, and imagine the community gardens if everyone had free time to help maintain it just a little

      I don’t want to garden, could I exchange some of my goods for yours? Maybe a standard currency so that it was easy to share that with someone else.

        You wouldnt have to garden if that’s not what youre good at. You would be able to help out your community in whatever way best suits you.

        But in this scenario, UBI doesn’t mean nobody works anymore. It just means nobody lives a life where any day they could homeless and without food. But if you want to live a life of luxury you still work. But you don’t HAVE to.

        Yes. I’m saying everyone can come together to work for a common goal. A common goal of a healthier community with fresh food. And they can work on this farm while volunteering thier time since (ideally) nobody would have to have a job

          I put in labor for food. That’s a job. You’re describing a farmer. This is how the majority of humanity has spent the majority of its time until the industrial revolution. If you’re not doing your job farming then you’re doing your job hunting and/or gathering. These are all jobs humans have been doing before we evolved into homo sapiens.

            I’m not saying if you help in the community garden you have to spend all your time being a farmer. The beauty of not being forced to have a job is you are free to do what you want. And if you want to spend that free time gardening, awesome. Maybe you want to spend free time helping out people in another way, which is fine. Thar free time is free to do whatever.

            The food situation in this hypothetical situation is covered for everyone. The original question was what happens if nobody has to work anymore. That includes you food being covered. So everyone would have there basic nutritional needs met everyday. But after your tired of eating basic foods, you can go down to the community garden and help grow fresh food for all to eat.

            We have a chance to evolve to a species that doesn’t need to hunt or gather out of necessity, but we should still try to let those skills help us thrive
