        So, according to information sourced in the article, it was designed to fail before it even really started so it might have actually worked.

        The basic idea of #UBI is the govt pays each person a small unconditional monthly amount, so a job isn't necessary for subsistence survival.

        "Against human nature" is a bit vague. Can you say specifically what you have in mind? You think #UBI isn't good, & can you say why?

        #UBI also offers a way to distribute the product of the Society when the robots displace the people like the engines displaced horses.
