Libertarians do not agree with UBI. It is astonishing how some brilliant minds in one field lack judgement and pretend to be able to engineer society.

Thanks for sharing

Cheers, Steven! How would you describe UBI to someone? What do you personally think about the idea and its potential?

Universal income is a pipe dream in an environment where global/ tech companies resist paying taxes and regulation. Imagine they are happy we distract ourselves with this rather than having substantial conversations about the future of democracy and work.

Nice thought, terrible idea. We should constantly elevate our standard of "basic" needs. Improve methods to meet those needs (housing, food, health care, etc). Just providing money and hoping people will meet those needs on their own would end very poorly for those in most need.

I found this out when I dated a social worker who worked with the homeless. I was amazed to find out that money almost never helped these people, and often made their problems worse.

The levels of support are far lower than Twitter and Reddit, disproportionately populated by woke nineteen-year-olds, would indicate.http://www.wisdomination.com/universal-basic-income-an-exercise-in-fencesitting/ …

It is far more clear that people understand neither systems nor interdependence nor higher order impacts, and few of these articles make it clear enough how grokking these things will determine the future

“The one thing libertarians, lefties, tech gurus and feminists agree on.” That’s hardly an endorsement.

This is a horrible idea. UBI will be the death of our culture and human freedom. All political battles and political capital will be about the size of UBI not policies to promote freedom and growth.

No...most libertarians do not agree on this. And the size of UBI will be a huge sticking point.

Right. Because welfare and the “great society” were such resounding successes.

Without correcting the inequity of money creation, BI can at best placate the masses with the minimum support required to prevent revolt.. ..while maintaining control by few Including each in money creation, makes each an equal partner in our Shared global economy
