      @mykola The idea of packing assets to reduce risk, & thus providing money to poor people to buy houses is a good one.

      @michael_nielsen @mykola Sometimes I think all we need is to redefine $0 to mean, the number that affords health care, food, shelter, edu.

      @mathpunk @mykola It amuses me that one advocate for a basic income to cover these was Milton Friedman.

      @michael_nielsen @mykola I didn't know that, but I understand it was also mooted by Nixon.

      @mathpunk @michael_nielsen huh. It's not an irrational idea, the way it sounds under capitalist ideology (broken record here, sorry).

      @mykola @michael_nielsen I have other ideas, thoughts, schemes, but UBI as "capitalism up to affine transformation" seems small & possible

      @mathpunk @mykola My fave crazy idea: money with values chosen from a (non-compact) non-Abelian group. Breaks lots of conventional ideas.

      @michael_nielsen @mykola Wealth-dependent pricing for, say, water, certainly makes sense. Make "fair" into a multiplicative statement.

      @mathpunk @mykola Price discrimination for water is common, eg largely useless bottled water and purifiers marketed to the wealthy

          @michael_nielsen @mathpunk eh, but the wealthy can opt out of that - so the baseline isn't being set. Seems like a mismatch.
