  1. The ROI on a UBI is insane. My sister covered my bills while I wrote my first book - a kind of UBI. The books sold relatively well and that allowed me to write 3 more whilst not being worried about how I pay the bills. Then I did a degree program in Ancient Chinese Philosophy in anticipation of another book and I also learned how to tailor bespoke mends historical suits. If you free up people. to do stuff THEY DO STUFF...!!! A Youtuber invented a new coathanger - it took her 3 years of iterations but having the income from past YouTube she was able to dedicate time to this. IMAGINE if everyone could dedicate 3 years to developing an idea or writing a book...!!!

  2. I HAVE A KIND OF UBI I wrote a book in 2016 that sells well enough for me to be able to just about scrape by on the sales - it transformed my life. I was able to do a degree in Ancient Chinese Philosophy over the lockdown, I've learned to be a bespoke tailor of men's historical suits. And I now have long Covid but I can still just about get by and not have to be stressed and panicking. YES ITS THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT OF KNOWING I CAN SURVIVE that is a motivation in itself

  3. let me tell you a story This is the story of why America is full of idiots. In the late 1970's and early 80's computers became a thing and you could process lots of statistical data for the first time. And the political parties did... The data showed the GOP they would be demographic-ed out of existence in a couple of decades. It also showed the GOP that stupid badly educated people - amazingly - voted for them. Voted AGAINST their own interests, as blue-collar workers and for the GOP. So the GOP started to breed their own supporters. They systematically defunded education - in 1976 education was 5.7% of GDP. In 1983 it was 3.4% Some of the specific changes they made were to STOP teaching critical thinking skills, skills that ALLOW people to spot a lie. And it was wildly successful. America now has an uneducated subclass of 35% idiots and it is enough to swing elections. Thatcher did the same in the UK and that led in the end to Brexit. If you cant tell a lie is a lie then you vote for the people telling the biggest lie. This used to be the GOP and the Tory party, but people worked out you could tell BIGGER lies and they would still be believed so you get Trump, Boris Johnsons, MAGA and Brexit. Edit: and just this week "A new study has found that Brexit voters have lower cognitive performance than Remain voters"
