Flexible sprint durations defeats the purpose of sprints. One of the main selling points of sprints is having a fixed time period of work, allowing teams to better understand the amount of story points they can complete in a sprint. This way, a big piece of work that takes 500 story points can predictably be completed in 2½ sprints if it takes a team 200 story points per sprint.

Government would also effectively collapse because they would have significantly decreasing revenue with increasing obligations.

The problem is that the elites will realize that they are better off if they cull excess humans. Any UBI or redistribution would come from their wallets and the wealthy would not want to give up any power they have.

I don't think moral licensing is the correct term here. Moral licensing is when you justify doing something that is morally bad because you did something that was morally good. For example, if my wife spent the whole day cleaning, then she may treat herself the last slice of my birthday cake because she feels she earned it.

I agree with this take. A lot of old boomers tell me how there was a lot of pressure to get married and have kids because it was the thing to do. Nowadays, there is less pressure for people to do that.
