The post-factual word about Trump's campaign was invented. The Academy of the Language of Germany has chosen the word for the year 2016. A lot of post-democratic use has also been made. In 2016, it was 500 years since Thomas Morus published the Utopia; it can also be a post-utopian era.

Utopia is a one-page book. The reader will not be able to find an image of the ideal society. On the island called Utopia, which is described in the second part of the book, there is no private property. There is no poverty. Work is compulsory. Six-hour day (more for Utopians and more for immigrants). The rest of the time is measured and regulated, especially for learning (possibility of continuing training). Someone who is surprised for the second time in adultery is cut off his head.

On the contrary, in the case of theft, the passenger declares himself against the death penalty. In the first part of the book, XVI.go, when he talks about British reality, he criticizes the measures used to end crime: “Thus, terrible penalties are set for the thieves (death penalty) when it would be better to deal with their needs so that no one is forced to steal first and kill later.” Those who have met the basic needs will not want to get into trouble and the whole society takes advantage of it. Pulling this argument, Morus is considered the precursor of basic income and, in my opinion, that is the most interesting message from the whole book to the world today.

Advocates of basic income always have to face the fear of laziness. Would the person with guaranteed existence work? Or is the idle day passed? On the island of Utopia, at Thomas Morus, there is no such possibility, but there is also regulated work and work. There is no freedom. In utopia, there is no one who does nothing. If my search is correct, Morus uses the word Otiose. There is no free space in Utopia. It was considered an enemy of his soul to have done nothing seemingly. Many mix leisure with laziness. In German a word of excellent sound is used: Müßiggang. Müßiggang is, according to a saying, the principle of all evil or vice. Kafka said it was the beginning of all evil and the height of all virtue. And Kafta wasn't lazy.

Free time has had its defenders: For Kierkegaard, not having the instinct to do anything is not human. Russel wrote that without that capacity we would be barbaric. Tschechow said happiness was not possible. Goethe recommended doing something more in non-productive days and hours. And this is easier to say than to do.

In Finland, tests have already begun. Since the beginning of the year, the 2,000 unemployed chosen by drawing lots will charge EUR 560 per month, without conditions, for two years. The Conservative Government hopes to be able to boost the labour market, but not the labour market. Attempts are being made with what would be half of a bá income sica.En. Germany also has a platform that collects EUR 12,000 and is drawn between the registered ones. 74 people have been awarded so far. It hasn't touched me.

If I had lived with such an income so far, I have set out to imagine what my life would be like: I would have children ages 11 and 8 instead of 7 and 4. I would have three or four books written, not one. Once we overcome this selfish impulse, I would imagine our society with such an income ...
