Just listened to latest Rogan podcast with the universal basic income guy. It's amazing how short sighted that guy is. The argument is basically robots are going to create such abundance that nobody will be employed, so give everyone 1k a month!
His whole platform completely ignores the abundance part. How cheap will everything be in this world, including equipment for small scale manufacturing and farming? How much do I care about a job or 1k a month, if small scale robot assisted farms and manufacturing centers will pop up all over because robots make manufacturing so cheap and the robot truck will deliver anything not produced locally for free?
Oh by the way, at the end he threatened Russia with war if he was 80 percent sure they interfered with an election, so we have that to look forward to as well. Intellectual yet idiot.
