Unconditional Basic Income - Why? How? Inevitable?

Some of the world's biggest thinkers believe in this idea. Here are just a few.

  1. Elon Musk
  2. Robert B. Reich
  3. Rutger Bregman
  4. Enno Schmidt
  5. Ray Kurzweil

I personally feel that UBI is "one way" to build a better tomorrow. The idea of it forces us to rethink paradigms we currently have about "what money is" and "what government is".

I've been doing some research on this idea and ran across a lot of videos that ask and answer some interesting questions.

Here is the list I've found and what I think they mean. These videos answer why UBI is needed, how it could be possible, and the REAL question "Is it inevitable?".

Is UBI a worthy idea (why is it needed)?

Following you, my upvoting power is however recharging. It will definitely happen. To support my comment you may wish to read my post. If everyone does that, then everybody would turn into a millionaire. The next step, if everybody has a bot doing that, then all is good? Check my post here (progress report coming):

Hi Lucky.Digger! Thanks for the upvote. The article you wrote on compound interest is great! Thanks for sharing that.

I am doing some considerable research on the topic and will be posting all my files for cocumentation and successful implementation. Please watch out for the coming follow-up posts.
