UBI is the obvious answer to HALF of our problem.

I've thought about why they do also and I honestly believe it's because they envy our compassion, loving and simple pleasures that we enjoy and they cannot feel ANYTHING past greed, fear of losing their material stuff, knowing that everyone only acts like they care so they can get their hands on what you have...etc.

Everything boils down to genetics, if you have the genes to sustain long hours of attention because your brain can produce massive amounts of dopamine that's excellent, you're getting somewhere billy. See.. We view lazy as if it were a choice, you choose not to do something productive there for you are lazy. The neuroanatomy tells a whole different story. Your brain can become sick just like your body can, but what.. What can sickness of the mind really manifest itself into? Depression is a large one, you see depression is not just something you can shake off, it is LITERALLY changing large portions of your brain. The hippocampus is seen to be roughly 50% smaller in patients with depression, Your frontal cortex shrinks. Until you're left with a zombie who wants nothing more then to kill himself.

I have ADHD. Even if I really try my absolute best to do a task, if it doesn't interest me then I just can't do it well. I glaze, I get distracted, and eventually I start to get very down. However, if it is a task which I am interested in then I usually can do it better, faster, and more efficiently than most other people. That destroys the lazy argument, becasue you are either lazy or you aren't. It is not selective. I've found it hard to hold down jobs in the past, but I am super productive with my time in the things that I am interested in. However, becasue I don't earn from these tasks I am considered a failure. I do earn a bit of money here and there but It has to be subsidised by pretty humiliating means tested benefits. They stress me out and I'm constantly in poor health due to it. To have my basics covered would be wonderful, becasue at the moment I'm so stressed about whether some stranger will give me the money to pay my rent that even my productive time suffers due to work, as one cannot be creative or productive while stressed. If a 9-5 job of whatever task suits you then great, but I can't cope in that environment and I'm sure I am not alone. As stated, laziness has nothing to do with it. The effort is there, but it doesn't get applied to the correct places.

You just missed the point entirely. The point is people can do it while not having to live on the streets, that people can do it while being given things like food, water, shelter, and medicine. Might wanna look up a little thing called communism--and I mean real communism under the definition of a "moneyless and classless society", not places that claim to be communist but are not. If you have money and use the money you are not a communist society by definition. At best, maybe socialism. But not communism. The point is that EVERYONE has a better quality of life and the thing we call money, which is just "get to live paper we give meaning to" will be abolished. The planet gave us what we need, and people should not be denied the quality of basic life just because society was built for and by the ultra-wealthy.

Very valid points. It’s so true . I loved this talk. I feel it would be inspiring to majority to have a basic income. Motivate them to improve their work fields & lives thus adding to benefit of society as a whole. Let’s face facts-( it’s discouraging to work very hard & merely Pay for basics survival needs- shelter, food , electric , car ins etc Even more discouraging - to work very hard & still not enough to cover shelter, food , gas ⛽️, electric , water 💦 etc Even using credit cards often to cover utilities merrily to survive. It’s become very difficult for single people on one income to make enough to even cover basic living due to inflation, high rent , food & gas ⛽️, utilities etc all going up & employers paying lower wages now. It’s definitely discouraging - not inspiring. I believe some basic income & more regulations in ref to some affordable rent programs- housing would create some space for inspiration to open up options for training, schooling or even inspire some to create small businesses,etc Some may get lazy with a basic income - however majority will continue to work & get extra training, schooling or entrepreneurship ... be motivated & inspired to create better lives. 👏

You must be a hard worker then, so you have every right to shout, lash out and even punch down.

We're living by archaic values regarding work, becasue we've worked to survive for so long it's become an almost religious and infallible habit that is heresy to even consider speaking against. We have to stop calling jobs "work" becasue work is activity and effort - not what you do to get paid. We must also stop measuring success by how much money someone has. Unfortunately there are bitter and cruel people in the world who would rather see everyone else as miserable as them instead of elevating themselves to the happiness of others around them.

How about being able to do the one thing that business owners would love to see go away- the minimum wage. In the system presented, the MW could be abolished- after all, the purpose of the existence of a minimum wage is to try to ameliorate the problem of people wasting a majority of their lives just trying to exist. It isn't without its challenges, though. Provide a standard income to all adults and rent prices will shoot through the roof- without legislation and both severe and immediate punishment for those who violate it. I am certain other issues similar in nature would appear as well. Those would definitely be a challenge to address. But... it's a start. Imagine, too, the effects a basic income would have on businesses in a MW-less situation, but nobody needing the jobs they have. They'd have to offer decent wages to attract people, or they'd go extinct. In effect, it would put the onus of responsibility on business owners instead of having the government come in and make them do it- it could potentially reduce the nanny-state role the government is taking.

As someone who makes now what I would have considered a handy sum ten years ago, I now struggle with bills occasionally because rent has continued to climb while wages have remained relatively stagnant. A basic universal income demands price controls on rents. Unfortunately, this would be next to impossible to implement in the states - because capitalism above all else. this may be more feasible in a place that has more of a social-capitalist system in place such as the UK, western Europe, etc.

Truth. Especially when that phrase "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" was originally created to mean to do something impossible...because you literally cannot pull yourself up by your own bootstraps unless you somehow break all of physics and how your body moves.

Because the Ego (the guardian of individuality) itself possesses the electric momentum of Activity-Creativity and the emotional magnetic impulses of "Bonding-Rejection," whatever is born of the "Ego-drive" by its thoughts, feelings and actions, is charged with physical electromagnetic life which will produce replica life forms and will be eventually materialized within the life of the Ego-creator. These created forms not only manifest eventually as experiences but also disturb the functioning of the physical processes of their creator and are the origin of physical discomforts or viruses or diseases. ​ Therefore, is it a great cause for rejoicing when the soul emerges from its encapsulating human consciousness of the Ego (the guardian of individuality), for the ascending spiritual consciousness will create the harmonious life-giving conditions it holds in consciousness. Conversely, it is a cause for sorrow while the human consciousness is submerged in Ego control, producing upsets, trials and tribulations both in life experiences and the physical condition itself. Therefore, I tell you: if you do not like the world, you have it within your power to change the "conditions of existence," right where you are - if you have the faith and consistent will to do so. I repeat in another form to gain your attention: If you continue in your present level of human functioning and thought, you will only experience your present level of human existence. You will be bound down to working hard for a paltry living, beset by numerous problems, such as poverty, ill-health, addictions, immobilized by prostrating fear and exposed to ill-intentioned attacks of all kinds. You will be burdened by present conditions until you understand how to change them. This is the golden opportunity to take control of your lives as never before, by getting control of your thoughts and emotions - the electrical and magnetic impulses - the blueprints of your future experiences. For - you are like potters possessing clay and daily shaping pots and utensils for your use. CONSCIOUSNESS is the clay - the substance with which you make your life - and every condition pertaining to it. You, alone, shape your life into the forms you experience. By your thoughts, you can change your personal future - if you will but accept the Christ Letters, A Course In Miracles and A Course Of Love. You can affect your environment, your homes, families, work, the people you associate with, and even plants, animals and climate. Whatever you hold steadfastly in mind externalizes.

That's weird because my dad says if he stops working, although retired, he will die sooner. Keep busy and don't stop.

But what if people that can earn basic income everyday choose to retire? What about heavy jobs that no one want to do? What about people who waste their money?

Missing that huge part in all these examples where working people who did not live in the fantasy had to fund it.

Great philosophical exercise but if there’s no economic plan involved, it lacks credibility.

Food and shelter robots will take care of those not needed in the working world.

What do you want to do to live is a privilege and is also met with Resistance because while your doing that you still have to worry about how your going to make money. You can't just focus on your hobby that you want to turn into a way to earn your living. This idea of Money is Enslavement!

Why would people work then and where would the money come from how would we tax.

lancsFrogger. look dear speakers point is only this that" when the burden of working for survival is reduced to nearly zero then on an average more people can work for their passion their by increasing productivity and increased non-materialistic satisfaction (compassion, team work, careing attitude, etc) when compare to present case".

Assume that this basic income covers only your necessities. You should then ask yourself would I stop working if I will receive a basic income? Probably not. But we tend to have a rather negative image from others. If I would ask you should others stop with working if they receive a basic income? Probably yes. We expect from ourselves that we will continue working, but others won't.. And maybe, or even probably, there are people who are not going to take up a job with a basic income. But under our current system this is also the case, and "the community is now supposed to pay for your upkeep" too.

A man who does not work has no right to eat, for in nature slothfullness is never rewarded... However work in this world is unfairly proportioned and were not just working for food were working for money meaning you can do 10 hours of hard labour and earn less than someone who sat down on a computer all day, now that's unjustified If we where to be payed the exact same amount for all jobs regardless of importance only then could we be truly happy

We are at a point where we should be lifting ourselves well above the boundaries of nature and natural evolution. Why, as a developed society would we proclaim that a human does not have the basic right to live, regardless of individual merit? UN Article 25 has more, as well as US amendment 9, and I'm sure other nation-states are similar. AI will reduce some of those extremely physical jobs and other jobs that hold little individual meaning, subjectively. There is slim chance for flat wages to happen in the next 100 years outside of the deaths of millions or more. I'm not sure they even should be argued for at all. Basic income systems are far more likely to be implemented without bloodshed, but they honestly need to be studied far more.

Rights are not earned, granted or taken away. Those are called "privileges." So eating is a privilege, and it shouldn't be. We have a right to live but a right to eat? that doesn't make any sense. I guess George Carlin was right, we really have no rights.

Certainly is. I'm more than tired of it.

I feel that this is a little out of touch with reality. If we have a society where people only do a job if they feel fulfilled doing it, who is going to do the jobs that simply aren’t ‘fulfilling’ we need warehouse workers, toilet cleaners and Tesco cashiers. A better system is one where hard work is incentivised. This kind of philosophy is based on the underlying assumption that personal ‘wellbeing’ should always be top priority and that we are all the centre of our own universe. I believe this is leading to a generation of individuals with limited problem solving ability and limited mental resilience. As an employer I hire so many gen z-ers that simply can’t cope with the demands of a full time job. Being an entrepreneur is extremely hard work. I’m not convinced that a high proportion of todays young people would be able to hack it

A basic income is just that, basic, if you want 'stuff', you'll still have to work, but you'll also be able to say 'no' to work, if you're not offered a fair price for your labour and skills. This should mean plumbers and the like could work less and earn more.

Some parts of lack of satisfaction in work is due to low wages, amount of time spent doing them. Many people are in jobs that don't suit them merely in order to make ends so if people could be freer to retrain, work less hours, If wages increase in some jobs more people would be attracted to do that job.

If a job is necessary it should be well paid. People will do it then. We've ignored and mistreated those who do necessary work in society.

Ok..nobody wants to work...right! And who is going to work? And..example..they dont work and.. Consequences: they won't have money but they will not eat because everything is not going to be there no more..etc etc etc I dont think this is a good move at all They're all falling into a hole And I work..have no problem working

Robots are coming man. Wake up. All those mundane manual jobs will go away. Part of the problem with 'undesirable' jobs is low compensation and long hours needed to work. If it's better pay & less hours it becomes more attractive. No way do i want to work 40-60 hours at starvation wages, but 1 shift a week or two half-shifts at $20 an hour ...yes please.
