Someone asked me “how can we promote long-term thinking in our society?” Initially I was stumped, but now I think I have a good answer: “Provide for people’s basic needs first.” When folks are worried about their health and livelihood, it consumes their day-to-day thoughts.

I get the fear that UBI would end up straight in the pockets of mega corps. That’s why they need to be taxed. For those who receive UBI in addition to their earnings, they would have more freedom of choice in the businesses they buy from.

It would also provide more opportunities for people to create alternative businesses - and start them without needing an additional paycheck. More social enterprises. Having UBI would also mean people aren’t desperate enough to keep jobs with employers that treat them terribly.

Isn’t the main problem behind that the western countries’ economical model? The money and values generated by startups mostly benefit the investors.

Yes. Currently the underlying structure primarily benefits a small number of elites. We need to change this.

This was part of Yang's idea in the US if I understand correctly? "Value added tax" (aka GST here) is designed to capture this -- he wanted to start collecting it in the US and distributing it as a UBI, but call it the "freedom dividend" to avoid negative connotation w/ UBI

Maslow's hierarchy of needs. This is exactly what you're talking about and you're right. Example: a child can't learn in school if he's hungry because there's no food at home
