  • It’s all about the hedonsitic treadmill.

    For those struggling to survive… UBI would benefit them.

    But for those who are higher on the treadmill and seeking leisure above all else (like your example)… UBI would just allow them to be more of a mooch/loser than they already are inclined to be.

    I’ve def met tons of people who basically only work because it means they have lots of money to spend on leisure. These are the same people who have very bad finances, despite having often high paying jobs. They don’t seek to use income to benefit their life in a more long term way… everything is short term hedonistic impulsive pursuits and they only ‘work’ because they have to pay off the debt.



  • I could imagine that society being full of all sorts of different problems than the current one.

    For example if people moved away from cities it would be a huge negative impact on the environment.

    You would also have a new underclass that simple lived off assistance and refused to work. The costs of living would probably also skyrocket such that whatever basic level of income you set would be the new poverty line.

    The problem with assumption is that UBI must only do good. It won’t. It will have all sorts of negative effects on top of the positive ones. An easy one to foresee is people taking their UBI and gambling it away.







  • dated women i met on reddit.

    they were all super weirdo psychos. one of had a breakdown at me that her dad wouldn’t buy her a porsche. another was doing fertility treatments and kept asking me if i’d raise/pay for her child. another refused to eat but drank like a fish. another was a weapons designer and like got off on her missiles blowing up brown people. i had several other women approach me too on reddit once they saw a photo i had posted in my history. after those mistakes i basically just started ignoring all the PMs.

    they were all very good in bed though. way more than non-reddit women. but they also all had zero empathy for other human beings and had psychopathic behaviors.
