[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7965269, member: 177"] I think we can look at youtube today, specifically during this pandemic, and realize that Picard was largely correct. There's a notion that, if you give people a living for no work, they will sit back and... do nothing, produce nothing, learn nothing. Surely, some will, but looking at artists whose work is applicable on social media, and you see a whole lot of artists continuing to make art and give it away for free, because their paid channels for expression are closed. They just go on to create anyway. Patrick Stewart starts reading Shakespeare's sonnets one a day, just because he thinks it's helpful - living the thing that Picard was talking about! School musicians record their parts at home, and have them edited together. John Krazinski starts up the "Some Good News" series on youtube, again, just because people can use good news right now.
