gollark: Art and other intellectual work.
gollark: I mean, you can go for "pay everyone UBI or something", which is valid but doesn't provide incentives to art.
gollark: Also, "your car" can produce value via driving people around and such.
gollark: Also, it's not just IP. Consider also 3D printers and other such small-scale manufacturing technologies.
gollark: You need a more coherent system for paying for works where it's hard to capture value than just "decide not to starve artists".
