Okay, weird idea I just thought of: what if profits were random?
As in, instead of an individual or organization directly getting the profits from their efforts, all profits are put into a big pot that gets randomly disbursed to everyone based on some known probabilistic distribution. Most people get a decent income most of time. Occasionally you get the minimum to survive. Occasionally you get way more.
I have no idea if that would be a net benefit, but it's interesting to think about 🤔
