I just came out of the woodworks ,after lurking around here for a few days,being shy about posting.But here goes: I am a parent,musician,an advocate for Universal Basic Income,a real life anarchist(libertarian socialist,anarcho-communists) pacifist,etc,etcstarting off now as a blogger and writer.
Professional rambler.Planning to start a podcast to take advantage of this fact.Passionate about futurism,and future studies,especially post scarcity,post work,and post capitalist futures.
Looking forward to hang out in this lovely platform!
Universal Basic Income sounds interesting, I know alot of VC's are experimenting with it in other cities.
Yes,Experiments have been done and are being done all over the world. http://www.basicincome.org/research/basic-income-studies/ venture capitalists are quite late to join the game though. The biggest player is the BIEN,Basic Income Earth Network,they go way back,1968 to be exact.
I sincerely believe this will be implemented in the future,partly because of technological unemployment,and partly because this is a policy issue where the left and the right can agree.
I just got turned on to more formal Universal Basic Income recently and I love the idea, of course with the concern of ensuring sustainability (which anything else has that same issue, not an argument against UBI.) I just went through The Case for Universal Prosperity last week and found it fascinating, even if it did break my brain a little bit.
Anyhoo, welcome to Steemit!
Welcome brother, no need to be shy you did great man!
Thank you!
Yes,I have forgotten about that.I will do it shortly(not now as I´m going to bed).The account is not really new though..
