My Wife's brother is the same age as me, lives in his parents basement, and gets paid under the table for working at his dads autobody shop. He has no plans to take over the shop, and without his parents assistance he would have a hard time finding/keeping a job. He plays video games all day and his mom cooks all his meals and does all the chores.
I know people like this, too.
The question I have is, should his laziness become the collective responsibility to sustain? Or should it remain a private matter?
The topic is fraught with emotion and, therefore, complexity, but in short, I think doling out social security unfairly puts the burden on the taxpayer when individual families actually bear much of the responsibility.
I think it was Song who pointed out that in the past, if you disgraced your family, you got disowned. Perhaps it created a stronger incentive to take responsibility for your life.

He ought to take more responsibility for his life.
His laziness will probably continue to be a burden for his parent and the collective, a mix of both.

I think people have been de-responsiblized and satiated into being pleasure seeking npcs.....I'm thinking consequence is more of a natural state and that we shouldn't need strong incentives to have a bit of agency.

It's a frustrating dillema.
