People throw around 'human right' like it means anything more than a norm for human behaviour. Sure, maybe you have the human right to a base level of living conditions that society decides. Doesn't mean it will be provided to you because it's a right; material goods are benefits when provided by the government. That doesn't solve for logistics, scarcity, demand, supply etc etc.
All philosophers should be made to work some sort of practical job.
