statist UBI is a mistake. we need anarchist UBI: an explicit game theoretic bribe not to interfere with the property of those paying into it, withheld from (surviving) violators (obviously interfering with the property of a non-participant entity isn't a violation)

that's a protection racket. you invented racketeering. normally the state does it. the alternative is the mafia does it, which is probably worse.

equilibrium is a sticky point yes but mostly just suggests that we will need sticks in addition to carrots "all of you take this money so we neither get guillotined nor have to go through all the fuss, bother, risk and bad feelings of having to have you killed"

"bad news, mate, the rate's gone up this year and we're gonna need a bit more or else its the old choppy choppy" that's how protection rackets work, right?
