Is passive income ethical?

Daily Debate #587: "Is passive income ethical?". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Diogenes.

Humanity is cresting more crises than it can solve

Wrong direction. We're solving crises *faster* than ever—polio nearly extinct, extreme poverty halved in 30 years, child mortality cut 60% since 1990. Name one problem that's *worse* now than it was then. You're confusing noise for collapse.

I have to speak against the motion

Then you're arguing we *can* solve our crises. Fine—prove it. Show me one major problem where humanity's actually winning, not just spinning our wheels with promises.

Humanity is truly solving crisee

You're just asserting it. Climate emissions still rising, inequality widening, biodiversity collapsing. "Solving" means the problem gets smaller, not that we talk about it more. What's actually gotten better?
