But they won't. It's safe to say that lazy people are good at being lazy and will find a way to be lazy no matter what system they're in.

Pretending we can build a system that eradicates laziness in an exercise in futility. It's better to accept the fact that a fixed percentage of people are only going to take while most others give (and take), and stop wasting the enormous overhead trying to figure out which is which.

Not at all. You know what eradicates laziness? Hunger.


I'd argue hunger promotes stealing more than eradicates laziness.
