What about shorter work hours, effectively rationing work?
In Europe we're already seeing lots of mandatory vacation time. Employers are required to give every worker weeks or months off.
Here in America, we don't do that, but we do have lots of government-funded "make-work".
We've got the largest military and more incarcerated criminals per capita than anybody.
So all we have to do is imprison all undesirables that don't wind up in the military, and have all the "better" people work 20 hours a week 20-30 weeks a year.
Broblem solved!

>Do you expect an ant to understand how a two-way mirror works?
I never liked the "ant" thing.
Why would natural selection drive intelligence to heights much greater than our own?
Why would star-traveling tech (or solar-system zoo tech) require aliens much, much smarter than ourselves?
People 200 years ago or more weren't ants compared to us, and look at all the tech we have that they don't.

>The Zoo Hypothesis is real.
Any evidence for this? Anything to suggest this is more likely than the dozens of other explanations?

Opie, I don't know what stoner fantasy you have about walking on an asteroid, but consider this:
The biggest asteroid by far is Ceres, with a surface gravity of 0.029 g.
For comparison, the Moon has 0.1654g.
I weigh 190 lbs on Earth, 31.4 lbs on the moon, and just 5.5 lbs on Ceres.
The second-biggest asteroid is Vesta, and it has much less than a third as much mass as Ceres.
