RE: Would you accept a $1 million gift on the condition that you could never be a wage earner again?

I concur.

It is easy to view this as the enlightened vs. the blind, but I would hesitate to reach that conclusion. I am (we all are) very biased towards my own beliefs which again are based on traits learned / born with.

If I was more risk averse in nature I would probably find employment much more desirable. If a person finds happiness in a job then that life is probably the right setup for him/her.

Happiness might be the underlying goal for everyone. Happiness is naturally much more important for the individual than the collective progress of human kind.

Then again, I think we would create a happier and more passionate work force if we could somehow eleminate financial stress, but that is just guesswork.
