The appeal of UBI is that middle-income people who've "done things right" and don't benefit from any entitlements think of it and say, "Why should taxes only pay for reckless people who can't be bothered to keep a job or something? If we're going to help people, help 'the good, responsible' ones also."

33:00 you guys r confusing disagreeability with being mean

I think part of the reason Bryan has a hard time convincing regular Joes is that much of what he says is too much of a leap for most people. If the average American wants immigration levels to remain the same at best, then it's going to be very hard to get him to go from that to an outright open-border position. Same if they want more spending on education, and so on. People tend to change their minds in gradual fashion, and are wary of the unknown or radical change from the status quo, which is what $0 minimum wage, open borders, or abolishing education as know it is for most people.

Putin vs. Hitler discussion (around 38 minutes in) not really holding up today.

I used to think about immigration like most people. I watched a one hour youtube video of Caplan explaining open borders, and i was completely persuaded. Few times in my life have I changed a world view in one hour. I would put Caplan in the ranks of Freidman or Sowell as it relates to the ability to make a convincing argument for something.

Do you remember the video? Would love to look into it
