A Universal Basic Income is primarily about eliminating crushing poverty. Note the word “Basic”. The overwhelming majority of people would never be content to scrape by on a UBI and would most likely hold down a full time job.

First off, Mr. Lanier is clearly a visionary. I am going to explore this idea of MIDS because it sounds like a possible solution to many of our digital dilemmas. I can't help but think though that the value from this collective would be scraped by the people who design and run them ... like in recent years with crypto exchanges or most of the financial services sector really. The algorithms designed to run them are almost, by their very nature, black boxes. In other words, what kind of design would keep them honest brokers? I'm not against this idea but would like to improve upon it through attack. And why the heck aren't more people part of this very important conversation? 30k views from 4 years ago? Uh oh, the algorithms are making me grouchy. Gotta check myself before I wreck myself.

Yes, and I think they might agree that a form of UBI can co-exist with Data Dignity. The reason for UBI is that not everyone goes online and the reasons for Data Dignity are many, as Jaron cites, including the anchoring of income to the market, creativity, value, professional reputation, pride in one's work, etc.

Imagine this: I got thousands of MIDs because I helped developing VHS tapes but now it doesn’t have any practical value would I die penny less???
@marshallhawks6787 Жыл бұрын
The discoveries and inventions that made VHS possible are not exclusive to VHS technology, they were building blocks to progress to the next technology. The idea for CDs didn't appear out of nowhere. The methods for recording analog data using magnetic fields way predated VHS, and discoveries made to introduce VHS are still applied and useful today. For example, telegrams are obsolete, but their invention was integral to the communication devices of today. So long story long, your contributions would still be valuable. Metaphorically, as a brick in this tower of knowledge that we're building. Your pension would be certain.

Andrew Yang's Freedom Dividend doesn't provide a Universal Income, but a baseline from which individuals can then build a financial foundation to use as a floor for capitalism. He want's to take back the funds from Data companies, and give it back to us as a dividend, (Money owed to us by the use of our data). A Value Added Tax, imposed on companies and paid not to the government but to the people. #Yang2020 I love his perspective and he could work with someone like Jaron, to make a plan that works.

@keywestling5 жыл бұрын
He's talking about a royalty-based system that relies on valuing data that people provide. He references the translators who are currently not valued because their work is effectively stolen for an AI that needs a constant feed of new translations while we pretend that the AI can do all the work. In the new system, through regulated intermediaries he refers to as MIDs, each person would collect a portfolio of data that they provide - some specialized like translations, some not as specialized - and would receive royalties based on the generalized value of that type of data.

What concerns me about the mid economy is it will be very unbeneficial to people who are in the lower part of the Bell curve when it comes to intelligence. Somehow it seems we will always need to grant a large part of the population some sort of basic income without expecting any return. I don't hear Jaron discuss any solutions to this.

Someone else who doesn't understand what either socialism or capitalism are. He's also totally wrong about needing monetary reward to drive creativity, and given that he works in tech, I find it completely weird that he can still misunderstand this. His take on UBI - that it is essentially bread and circuses is a fair point, but what we have now is circuses and no bread. We already live under unaccountable tyrannies. "Employers", in the old sense of the word, but the tyranny of the stacks is leaking out into other areas as well. Try being a seller on Amazon sometime. Capitalism in essence is a hierarchy of power-asymmetries. There can be no freedom in a system where some people hold the power of life and death over others. He's been saying interesting things based on massively flawed assumptions for a long time. I'd like to be able to agree with him, but really can't.
