A piece I wrote on the ethics of "helicopter drops" (as favored by Mark Blyth, @ericlonners & others): http://bit.ly/1DpSHbV #economics
@jessespafford Not clear contracting in to a heli drop would mitigate against it rewarding without regard to desert.

@jessespafford Point about contracting in vis-a-vis current system is it undermines claim that current system is morally arbitrary. -

@jessespafford Not analogous because rewards from borrowing & saving arguably *are* deserved. The arbritariness subverts that - or at least -
@jessespafford it would if it were not for the contracting in point. Helicopter drops are different - they just fall on people (no risk, -
@jessespafford no sensible caution, etc - nothing that would make rewards accruing deserved).
