    Now that idea is something I would probably still consider. On one hand I think UBI would be pretty damn cool, and probably a useful advancement for society. On the other hand, the reason for the desire for UBI in this instance is still incorrect and that it is essentially asking for the labor of another to feed you or to feed others simply because they were successful. It seems like a good move initially, but if you think about how it could play out, that could actually be an incredibly damaging thing for society. People that would normally be driven to innovate are then stifled and subdued with this because they’re just waiting for someone else to reach that level of success so that they can be fed more.
