The stay home with no purpose narrative isn’t what UBI is about. No one is sitting at home rotting on a 2K a month UBI. I think of UBI as a financial floor no one can fall below, not a safety net, or an income replacement. It’s a lot of things, but if your sitting around rotting on an allowance of that level the problem is not the UBI. It would be a entrepreneurial boost for me. What would 2K a month do for you?

The stay home with no purpose narrative isn’t what UBI is about. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that the message I was getting from the interpretation here. No one is sitting at home rotting on a 2K a month UBI. I think of UBI as a financial floor no one can fall below, not a safety net, or an income replacement. Maybe I’m misunderstanding the plan.

Love your reports, thanks for the work you do to keep me informed. And, I disagree with your take in UBI. Bitcoin and UBI will work very well together. Andrew Yang doesn’t want to tax the robots to pay people to stay home. The stay home narrative is 100% incorrect about UBI and you’re being spun by the same corporate, billionaire systems that are fighting Bitcoin. We have a common enemy. Think of UBI as a floor, not a safety net, or an income replacement. No one is sitting at home smoking weed and playing video games on 2K a month. They might very well save up for a while and leave their shitty job and start a small business, get trained for something else, or stay home with their young children; again nobody is leaving the workforce completely for 2K a month. I’d love to talk to you more about this or put you in touch with people I follow more able to speak to it. UBI and Bitcoin are both huge low time preference reinforcing mechanisms. They are complimentary, not competitive. So many bitcoiners will say you need to spend 100 hours learning about bitcoin, I would argue UBI needs a similar commitment, and if you haven’t committed to that level of study you’re in danger of sounding like a no coiner rhyming off classic fud about bitcoin like it’s money for criminals, and it’s not attached to anything, and it’s a Ponzi scheme. Be well sir, keep up the fantastic reporting on Bitcoin, and if you can make the time let’s explore the power of a UBI for individuals. It kind of makes individuals as powerful as a union can without the complexity of another large institution. Imagine what you would do if you were in a shitty job and then you started getting 2K a month consistently, for the foreseeable future, not clawed back if you continued working, or making income in any way. What would you tell your employer to do with that job :-). Cheers

You mentioned you have dyslexia in one of the first readings of the letters. You sound like one of my high school students with learning disabilities struggling to read aloud. It’s very brave to struggle through this and share it in this raw form, may I share pieces of this with my students? It’s powerful to see yourself represented in the real world.

Saif I am trying to open my mind to these ideas, many ring true.
A couple of questions for clarification:
1. Birth Lottery-I understand from this lecture that being born rich has no effect, am i misunderstanding?
And
2. If everyone was a strong capitalist would there be enough wealth to go around, and enough consumers of the 100s of fish produced by the fishermen with the boat, nets, and other tools?
Many thanks,
Bill

Stafford thank you for the reminder of the beauty of Bitcoin. There’s a reference to « Les ABCs » in Victor Hugo’s « Les misérables ». They were the poor revolutionaries who were illiterate (didn’t know their ABCs) and were marginalized « abaisser » in French, pronounced ABC.

As an educator AI is a tool to first draft output like report card comments, email responses, lessons plans, and unit planning. Essentially it has increased my productivity, reducing my hours, allowing me to spend more time on human interactions with my students and colleagues. Same result as when I started using online testing tools and translation software (second language teacher) as they became more effective over the last 2 decades.

Question how do we identify the Einstein? The « Lost Einstein Theory » is one of the many talking points around a UBI. If everyone had « enough » to shine we could find the shiny Einsteins and further support them…thoughts?

Amiti, 10x your productivity reminded me of the Pomadoro Technique I teach my high school students. Basically you remove all distractions and work for a set period of time (45 minutes usually) on a specific task then you have to take a 5 minute break. If you do 3 rounds of this you then have to take a longer 30 minute break and eat.

I struggle with the juxtaposition of, « we need to touch grass and embrace low time preference activities such as growing some of our own food and cooking for ourselves… » and « AI and UBI are going to create a generation of depressed couch potato gamers ». Maybe we are being trapped by some cognitive loop to believe since people who work 40+ hours a week at desks doing mundane, pusposeless jobs binge watch Netflix and eat poorly that if they were afforded the humanity of a true Universal Basic Income they would further spiral rather than rest.

This reminds me of the first book I read on blockchains « The Truth Machine ». Always building your reputation, still as anonymous as you choose, and your reputation still has value. Way down the line, but could you imagine a « sorry » button? And a « forgiven » button? Seems people either say nothing for fear of becoming a meme, or hide behind burner accounts, and have no guard rails. Wouldn’t it be nice to feel you could fuck up and make amends?
