This topic has been discussed around here before. It’s a good one. I for one am worried about what the future may bring in this regard. Not everyone is cut out to be an engineer, doctor, college professor, or artist. As far as that goes, a lot of those functions may also be replaced by machines in the fairly near future.
This is why you see some people discussing the possibility of the government paying a minimum “living wage” regardless of whether you work or not, because it may simply be impossible to employ enough people to keep society from collapsing. An interesting thought in any case.

Yes they are. Some people are just more lazy than others.
Some come from base poverty and still achieve.
