Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts experiment has given creatives a weekly payment for three years. Now, a permanent program could be on the way.

    It would be very interesting if any other income were prohibited under threat of imprisonment. It would be a good experiment.

      That’s not what Basic Income is for. Basic income is meant to cover your basics for survival, a safety net. If you want any additional money you’re meant to still work for it. It’s not a replacement for employment.

        I have a pretty good idea of what UBI is. But in this context, we are talking about people in the arts; they shouldn’t be employed somewhere, so that they can devote themselves entirely to creating art.

      Do you mean income from sources other than their art? Or any income at all?

        Any income at all. It would make everything easier and more fun.

          What would be fun about restricting people to 1500 a month because they choose to pursue art?

            That can be the most significant and big happening of last decades. And of course it’s fun.
