Yeah - look, I didn't say that it was an easy, one and done solution. It would be a major shift in how society thinks about what the meaning of "work" actually is. What I said is that I am bullish on humans being productive and wanting to do meaningful things with their time. Like everything, the devil is in the details, you can't just apply some new law and expect things to work. There would need to be cultural change and there would be lots and lots of 2nd and 3rd order consequences that would be unpredictable, especially with something as big as UBI (if you even could find a way to make it function monetarily). All I'm saying is, I'm bullish on human creativity and I don't think about society leaves much room for it anymore.

the money comes from money printing and theft (taxation) it's immoral from the start, i don't think there is any merits to stealing from peter to give to paul, it just gives glory to thieves
I agree with that 100%. If it's only fundable via theft, I'm not interested at all.
