RE: Hi Steemit! Scott Santens here. If you've ever googled "basic income", you may have read something I've written.

I love the idea of combining Positive Money with UBI. I keep hoping that they will start talking a lot more about UBI as the way of creating money, because I think that makes far more sense to fully decentralize the currency creation, than it does to let government decide how it wishes to spend the money it creates for itself instead of its citizens.

Sort:  

Oh, yes, it's a very bad idea to have currency creation modeled on a debt pyramid scheme!
My Four Pillars will be difficult for hard core Capitalists for a number of reasons which I'll list below...

  1. they tend to deny pollution as a problem.
    2)they tend to deny that there are limits to growth.
    3)they tend to deny that scaling a new civilization without fossil fuels is hard...Very, very hard...
    4)they tend to deny that 10 billion people by 2050 practicing various types of narcissistic​ behavior​ is any problem at all....
    But, hey, one problem at a time, I suppose​, but​ my Four Pillars adequately addresses all these issues and still leaves room for a stripped down capitalist system.....
