One of the main issues with the disability program, as Yang has stated, is that people on disability are under constant governmental and societal scrutiny. If they go out and get a part time job, they suddenly appear fully able bodied and risk losing their disability. With UBI, it would be condition free. It would urge more people living on disability to apply themselves and find jobs/volunteer work without the risk of shame/being kicked off the program.
i love this dumb idealogy. if you're working, you don't need to collect disability. my parents are both disabled and work without collecting it because there are people who are too disabled to work and need the money. if you can work at all, the point of disability is not for you.
Exactly and it’s sad. I once had a talk with a person at my college who was a primarily liberal person and I myself am conservative (all differences aside) the whole time we were speaking, there was this one thing that we both agreed on and were shocked about and that was how we both were finally able to find another person who would actually speak to the other without commencing into an ape-like tribal battle.
@@mattcarberry368 And social media.. Conversations like this happen everyday, just not often on the internet (unless you know where to look) because it’s not dance videos or someone “getting owned.” It’s sad, but that’s what holds the attention of this dumbed down society.
I think what Ben is missing is how the current welfare system disincentivizes, even punishes individuals for improving their lot. I’ve seen firsthand how Social Security keeps my special needs sister in a chokehold- if she tried to get a job more than likely she will make over the meager monthly cap & lose her SSI benefits. As an intellectually disabled person with a limited skill set, it’s not easy to find the right job or a flexible employer so she cannot take that risk. Just working at a movie theater one year her income exceeded what she was “allowed” to make, so she spent the next year paying back SSI. Similarly, disadvantaged people have to weigh the risks of getting a poor paying job they could lose any day, & end up losing welfare too. With UBI, at least it’s no strings attached, & no fall-out from trying to get ahead. There is also an intrinsic dignity & sense of autonomy since you’ve been entrusted to do whatever you feel is in your own best interests. It’s a completely different animal in my view.
originallimu, Im curious as to what the minimum wage is where you are? Here in Maryland the state minimum wage is $10.10/hour (Federal minimum wage is $7.25). Here in Maryland it would take 4.5 hours a week for a month to gross $180 and at the federal rate it would take 6.2 hours a week for a month. I agree with it being bullshit that there is a cap on income to receive benefits. SSI shouldn’t be given based on income. We pay into it for the benefit of being secure socially in case of disability or some extenuating case. It’s insurance and it’s one of the great scams our nation plays out on its citizens. It’s like your never allowed to have it easy ever in life even if only for a moment. Heaven for mind you get a little more than your supposed to, then you get punished and have to pay it back with interest, but our government can go ahead and take from that fund whenever they want without repercussion. It’s a messed up system in deed.

Not force. Ben is always willing to have a dialogue . On his interview he has had some left leaning people on and he lets them speak and is very deferential. He is like that on his interview show because as he says the point is to hear from the interview guest.
spoken like someone who's never actually heard Ben speak. when he speaks at colleges he literally wants the people who disagree with him at the front of the line. i love how Liberals think every conservative his just some loud mouthed idiot who won't let anyone talk, we want to speak with you! we want to debate your stupid opinions! its you guys who never want to talk to us

This guy talks like going to church would help someone quit a drug that creates so much pain in withdrawal that most users kill themselves before getting through being sick from stopping. It’s just unrealistic to expect someone to quit drugs that cause seizures and death from stopping. These people are homeless and use drugs because it’s a better life than working all day for minimum wage and living in a house that isn’t much better than a tent in the first place.
@@domnoya4130 Not really as simple as “going to church will immediately help you get off drugs” it’s if you find a deeper meaning in your life (a job, family that matters to you etc) you will feel more purpose & more likely to beat the drugs. Especially when you instill that purpose into your children then they are less likely to be in that position. Next thing you know in one generation your family could go from poor drug attics to at least people who are striving to better theirselves. Ben just used the example of church as the vehicle to do that
Thanks for having Ben Shapiro on. We need more societal debate and discussion among people of opposing views. Both are of you guys should be applauded. Very grown up dialogue. You guys give me hope.
The thing is Shapiro actively tries to avoid situations like this where he's confronted on a level playing field. He much prefers the power dynamic he gets when he's on stage of the microphone and gets to interrupt college students
@@nigeladams8321 what the fuck? People ASK him to speak at colleges. People PAY him to go to the colleges. What are you on about?

Your logic is honestly so flawed it seems like you have a complete lack of self and social awareness.

The Reason Why Guy UBI does nothing for people crippled by depression or smothered with a lack of purpose, only social programs can help those issues. Give an alcoholic an extra thousand dollars and they will just make themselves more drunk, extra money won’t deal with their problems. More people in the poorest areas of America will just get robbed more once a month, those who get to spend the money won’t spend it better because no one has shown them how. These are generalizations of course, but we need to deal with the general issues and THEN the specialized cases. People need purpose and a society that values purpose driven people. Government can’t do that well. Yang wants to do what politicians have always done - throw money at a problem until it fixes itself.
Controversial opinion incoming btw I feel that the best way to run a nation is for the nations government to be the primary employer. Of course you need international businesses to keep markets flowing but small businesses should be operated by a just government. Instead of having a welfare system in place (or like our Australian system Centerlink works) these people would instead be offered a variety of potential jobs created by the government and these can range from mining, clerical (desk jobs) , manufacturing, refining, teaching, marketing and research. They can choose any of these available jobs and the starting rates are all identical. When you climb the corporate ladder in each job your pay increases. Those who refuse to work are given minimal pay but will never have their options taken from them. With this kind of system in place it would allow these people who want to seek out work and purpose an easier transition into work while also giving them valuable experience. The reason these programs need to be government operated is bc it allows the government to tailor its demographics by setting what jobs are available. (Assuming the government isn’t inept but if we can ignore the financial issues with UBI we can ignore this). Additionally these government workplaces will be extremely profitable to the nation as all profits that don’t go into wages, maintenance and expansion go directly to the government. Essentially it’s a 100% tax rate. Also with politically operated industry it would allow for the individual workers more power in corporate matters as the leaders of these workplaces would be elected by the people and not shareholders. I’m willing to discuss more benefits in a book I’m writing called “The Rationalist Manifesto”. Which is the best attempt I can make at a perfect political system which I feel is balancing rationality (science and debate) with nationalism (strong morals and drive to better the state) I would very much enjoy a reply even if you just call me a faggot :)
Jake Neylon I won’t call you a faggot unless you’re a bundle of sticks or see that word as empowering, I don’t even use it on homosexuals I despise. I see the government’s ability to run businesses in the American DMV and the VA centers, both plagued with bureaucrats and inefficient practices to keep themselves in their positions with no care to the people they should be helping. The most competent and effective workers/bosses are glossed over so that the most shrewd or conniving get ahead - this is not because of actual corruption but because moral/just people accept reality while those without such encumbrances can lie to their heart’s content and really, who wants to hear an ugly truth over a pretty lie? Now, apply that to the whole government-business you’re proposing. How about this for a counter offer: A government focused on the creation and protection of small businesses. Let’s pick an arbitrary amount - a million dollars - as the maximum a company can be worth until the government steps in and makes demands about restructuring and making space for more competition in the market. This would create the best system for ambitious and inventive entrepreneurs. Large corporations would be gutted, leaving a space for anyone who wishes to make it in any field. Massive chains of businesses will either be closed or restructured into smaller restaurants. Target, Walmart, Publix - all those stores will not exist as they are now. For the average worker, this is the best scenario - anyone could be one promotion or innovation away from being a success! International businesses would have to adopt this style of business if they wanted to continue serving Americans, which could open several opportunities for our citizens when the markets begin to recover from the inevitable instability that will result from the change in market design. The most important thing: It provides an avenue for EVERYONE to have purpose in their lives AND puts a ceiling on success that ANYONE could reach with drive and ambition (short of the absolute bottom 1%, but neither of our programs explicitly help them anyway). If that’s too far, we can make it where a tax increase is added as the company becomes more successful to disincentivize massive corporations. Large enough companies would suffer considerably, making way for smaller businesses to work while the near monopolies are throttled. Punishing the big bullies while allowing the small guy to succeed - the American dream. I’ll call it the New American Plan, find it in all fine book stores around the time of my presidential candidacy.
$1000.00/mo for every adult over 18 would be a MASSIVE failure... crime, civic problems, food shortages, human trafficking, etc. Money will not resolve these soc problems ...
It's called, "picking your battles." When you present a valid counter to someone who has written a book on their philosophy, the writer grasps at straws, creates false comparisons, and becomes angry. This is not what you want to do when hosting a guest. Ben is simply being courteous during his interactions with Yang. Go watch the video, you will see that he DID touch on these arguments in a very respectful way.
People are either missing the point or just don't want to understand it. Yang is a genius, literally a genius. Ben didn't really counter his idea because Yang would have owned him!
Joe Rogan is not allowed to talk about that. He didn't laugh, because he is not suppose to encourage anything to do with the government's agenda to turn everyone gay to destabilize the Family. Because the American Family from the 1900s was a structure where a Mom and Dad both passed on knowledge and Wisdom to their genetic offspring. And the New World Order can't take over the world without taking over people's minds, and they can't take over people's minds if everyone got knowledge of the truth about this world and wisdom from both their Mom and Dad. So the whole putting chemicals in the water to cause a hormonal imbalance in people to turn the human population gay, is to end the traditional Family, to stop knowledge and wisdom from passing down to the next Generation. To dumb down society. And to take away high testosterone, which is known by the radical left as toxic masculinity. You know masculinity, that thing that makes Men brave enough to stand up against a tyrannical government. So Joe Rogan can't talk about that. Or he loses his job if he talks about anything to do with the gay agenda. Joe is not a sell out as much as he is scared of the people that rule the world, because Joe has a lot to lose. So he is doing the smart thing to do. Not the right thing to do by keeping his mouth shut, but the smart thing to do is for him to keep his mouth shut so that he can keep his job, house, cars, bank account, and wife and kids. You would keep your mouth shut too if you were Joe and you loved your Family.
@DeadMemes NeedToStayDead Your reply is to vague, not specific enough, in the sense that you are not making it clear what exactly I said that you are replying to. I don't know the context of your reply, I don't know what you are replying to, so I don't get what you're saying. As for our brain being programmable, well you do know that our brain is nothing more than an organic computer, with software and apps aka education and skills, and yes there are some misinformation and misunderstanding aka viruses in our minds that pollute the rest of the accurate information floating around in our synapses. Haven't you ever heard of Television programming? They can program your brain like a coder computer scientist can program a computer. Human beings are not inherently stupid, that is a new phenomenon, caused by TV, news propaganda, movie propaganda, and yes, even propaganda in textbooks in the public schools we go to. Here is the neat thing about being human, you can program yourself by studying to become whoever you want in life. 1 person can read the Bible, another person to Koran, another the Torah, another the Buddhist Bible Tripotaka, another a course on evolutionary biology. Another 4 years in college physics another in ancient History. And 90% of the population will take a course on Hollywood propaganda. We all choose what we study, we are always learning. Joe Rogan is no different, he learned a lot of truth and lot of bullshit too. It's hard to admit when you ate wrong. If you learn anything from me, know this. We are all organic computers, and all of us, including you and me, and Joe Rogan and Stephen Hawking, and Richard Dawkins, the President, the Pope and the Queen. ALL of US. WE have all been programmed with truth and lies at the same time. I don't what I believe is true that might be incorrect, and what I believe is correct that might be a lie that someone said at some point in History that I now to be truth. And you Sir, you don't know for sure if everything you believe is actually true. There is 3 sides to every story. The truth, the lie, and the real reason based on money. At the end of the day Joe is loyal to money more than he loyal to you. Truth and lies, that's irrelevant. Money, profit, obtaining resources 9 out of 10 is everyone's primary motive to do and say what they do and say. If money didn't exist, 99% of lies ever made in the History of Humanity would never have been said or written. Everyone is an opportunist, except for your Mom and if you're lucky enough to grow up with your biological Dad, than in life you can only trust your Mom and Dad who bought you into this world, and your Body is part of theirs. So since they are loyal to themselves chances are that they are loyal to your wellbeing. But apart from your pparents who sincerely love you, no one else in this world has your best interest in mind 100% of the time. Trust no one! Because everyone's loyalty is to money, not to you.

Thanks.
@@joshuaboulton36 cool, where/what are you studying? if ure interested in AI i recommend a v strong foundation in math (namely: Discrete, Linear, Calc, Probability and Stats for starters). Also what control problem are you referring to?
@@robalexnat I'm a philosophy major in New Zealand, but I include other subjects in my degree program, and have studied software development in the past.

I have courses in automata, logic, discrete math, algorithms, AI programming, Chinese politics, economics, and a few others planned for the rest of my degree, but have already started studying these things by myself. The rest are in most subfields of philosophy. By 'control problem' I'm referring broadly to the concerns of individuals like Nick Bostrom, regarding our ability to handle potential dangers of artificial and/or superintelligences in the future. My main interests in philosophy are epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of science, logic, metaethics, philosophy of language (ish - think Wittgenstein etc.), philosophy of mind, and, well, philosophy of artificial intelligence.
@@joshuaboulton36 just saw this. those seem a lot of diverse subjects for an undergrad, im not sure how deep you're going into each considering they are p dense fields. that being said im glad youve taken an interest as it will benefit u in a larger scope, I too studied cognitive psych in my free time for different reasons and believe it helps in our decision making. For the control problem, really isnt a problem is it? You will have the first few to reach the singularity to try and abuse it. However like any successful arms race, there is more than one. The implication I feel is a greater danger of governmental control over citizens, and since governments are made of humans that change, at what point are we being run by the AI? But you can argue the same things about the systems we have in place already: and the truth is is that its a very potent and powerful weapon, but one that also works for what it is programmed.

My parents had just turned 17, my mom litterally 1 week before my sister was born... over a month early and blind. They both dropped out of high school, my dad went to work as a mechanic and my mom stayed home. By the time they were 22, they had 3 kids, 2 of whom were blind, but they didn't feel that they could demand our completion of school if neither of them had done it, so as the youngest, when I was around 5 or 6, they both went back to night school and completed their educations. After that, my dad got his college degree from home, all while working 50 or more hours a week. Yes, people make mistakes, but when you get pregnant, it's time to start adulting. Sex is an adult activity, so if you're not adult enough to take on the possible consequences of it, you're not adult enough to do it. Sometimes you have to sacrifice, whether it's money, education, dreams, but someone who isn't willing to sacrifice for the good of their children needs to work on how to be a good human. My parents are still together 45 years later. They are happy and successful with my dad just a few years from a well deserved retirement. They both grew up very poor, children of manual laborers with stay at home moms. They put off their needs and wants to make sure we kids had new school clothes and occasionally things like expensive sneakers. They're empty nesters now, with 3 happy and successful children and they're living the dream. If you make a baby, take care of it before yourself. Pretty simple.
That is an amazing and uplifting story, but the situation now is waaaaayyy different. For example, in the 1960s, it would've cost ~100,000 of TODAYS moneys to buy a home, where as the same home is now selling for ~220,000.

I mean this is an interesting topic. I think what work is essentially the modern world's supplement to what would've been your role as a tribal member 50,000 years ago. My guess is, what you did for "work" in the tribe gave you purpose, because the fruits of your labor were tangible, in that it directly affected the people of your community eg. (hunting,farming,teaching kids). So I think people may be hardwired to expect what they do to give them meaning, because that is the world the human brain evolved in. Since we are largely disconnected from our work, we don't really know the people whom our work affects, it cannot provide that sense of meaning. So people are left trying to supplement that need for meaning elsewhere. Perhaps you could say though that this is an opportunity for people to find purpose on a deeper level, but I wonder if that is essentially, expecting the biology of your brain to change.

@@noahgarcia5951 Cept Ben is a far right shill. He acted sane during his Yang interview and then goes and shills on Rogan. And whenever people call him out on his bullshit he retracts it and pretends it never happened. Yang already said he wants to legalize opioids so that people aren't worried about going to prison when they want to reach out for help. And that is jsut the beginning.
@Dewayne Thomas. First of all, "Far Right" is not a thing. Not really. Even if it was (like Nazis), Ben is a Jew. (Also, in my opinion the actions of said "Far Right" Nazis are far more reflected by the current day Far Left, than they do the Right. Meaning more governmental control, Confinsation of guns, a single Political Party controled country, Socialist programs and an extreme hatred toward a single race of people as blaming them for the cause of all the problems. In the Left's case this means "Whites".) Second, Ben "acted sane" as you put it because that's what Interveiwers are Supposed to do. Ask questions of the person that they're interveiwing and then keep their mouths shut. Unlike what the Left has been doing which is demonize anything you have to say that doesn't apply to the narative that they want you to say. Ask any documentarian. Heck ask Casey Jay why she kept her mouth shut when she was doing all of her interveiws despite she hated what the MRA's had to say. (Her TedEd Talk can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/3WMuzhQXJoY/v-deo.html ) Third, "whenever people call him out on his bullshit", you mean whenever people try to tell Ben what he said incorrectly? Like how you call what Ben did here with Rogan as "shilling". Or perhaps durring the times where he's quoted saying something before (as in years prior) without any regard that time has passed by. Thus, mistakes (if any) are discovered and retracted properly, or opinions have changed due to new facts that have been discovered. Forth, Ben has always had this opinion Reguardless of Yang's existence and he is raising the exact same points that any sane person would on the topics. (Heck, there are a number of things that I noticed about his interveiw with Yang. For starters, Yang never actually Answers the questions that he's asked. He tells a story, vaguely mentions the topic, but never really answers.)
I mean, I'm a programmer. It's a satisfying career, and it's totally possible to get into it without a degree, but it's not a universal solution to the current job crisis. If a friend who was good at problem solving wanted to know what to do with their life, I'd tell them to try Python or Kotlin, maybe there's a career in there for them. But it would be downright delusional to recommend this to an entire classroom, never mind an entire online audience, we can't have a fucking software-based economy. I once saw some guy on UA-cam respond to the complaint that McDonald's workers don't get vacation time with "But the managers do, so you just need to be promoted to manager". Right, let's just have everyone be managers. Finally, a lot of conservatives comment on the absurd cost of university with "If you work hard, you'll get a scholarship". But everyone fucking knows scholarships are only for the best 5-10%, there aren't nearly enough for everyone.
@@gabrielfraser2109 No one ever said it was the end-all solution for unemployment. A private company teachers coal miners to code and gets them jobs in the field. The media reported it on it because they found the story intriguing. Then conservative snowflakes wined and said but we all can't learn to code. No one ever said that. No one ever said all unemployment could be solved by learning to code. All it ever was, was a story about how a company tried to help unemployed previous coal miners get jobs from learning to code. It was an overreaction to a simple story.

@Lujack Shaw How do you know that? If there's no restrictions, some people will feed their addictions. Young people who've never worked before may waste it, since they didn't earn the money themselves and don't appreciate the value.
The basic purpose of life is survival of self and of species - food, shelter, procreation. A job provides money which provides food and shelter for ourselves and our offspring. We all want to "like" our jobs ideally, but that is far secondary to survival and is actually a complete luxury.

I find it interesting that Ben is critical of UBI basing its success on people making the right decisions with money (they'd use it in ways that benefits nobody) but he also bases the concept of proper child raising by the parents staying together (even though one could be abusive, a drug addict, etc). Basically, both are hopeful that a good scenario plays out for them to work and both can fail because they don't.

Everything will become cheap as fuck, and you most likely won't even need to work 8hrs per day to buy the same things you can w/ today. Just think about something : WHY ARE JOBS MADE? To produce. If we can have production w/o human power, THATS AMAZING. The poor will be as rich as rich people today. No need to worry. And that WONT make more inequality. Before capitalism, the difference between a poor guy and a rich guy was : One has food, the other didnt. One had shelter, other didnt. One had clothes, the other didnt. Currently, the difference is just, for most people, the type of clothes or shelter. We are all rich as fuck when compared to 300 years ago.

@@aetherblackbolt1301 "Crisis of purpose" is like "Dignity of work" in that they're terms that right-wingers use while saying "facts don't care about your feelings" with no sense of irony.

Yes, you can keep it. But everyone needs to pay their fair share. Let's imagine an America where no one pays taxes but everyone has to individually pay for every single service that their tax dollars used to cover. For instance, toll bridges will be everywhere. The first responders will demand payment before responding to emergency call and patrolmen will demand payment from you, simply because you weren't accosted. The mailman won't let go of your mail until you pay up. No more FICA. The military won't stand guard until they receive their cut from everybody. A state of emergency has to be paid for upfront in the aftermath of a natural disaster decimating your community. No SSI or Medicaid/ Medicare programs for grandma or grandbaby. So grandma either needs to have a foolproof retirement plan, a trust fund, win the lottery, or else get a job at some major monopoly until the day she croaks. NO USDA or FDA regulations probably would lower -quality- prices of consumer goods though.

I dont want government taking my autocross and track cars away and limiting my freedom and enjoyment of life. if government wants my cars they better come for my guns at same time.
Actually with UBI, people will pursue their interest, what they really want in life.. Not everyone is a fan of being employed, having to work 9-5 is exhausting... Most people want to be free from corporate slavery.. and focus more in all areas of health and choose to become happy.. the goal is financial freedom.
Again that’s foolish to say that will just overall be good for the individuals and the country as a whole. We can’t all be making a living as an artist, that will destroy our country even through just a basic policy level. Also have you seen the top level artists of our country? These guys are millionaires and are still dealing with extreme depression, and drug dependency. Most people can’t handle that level of success or the isolation that it takes to be a unique artist.
Not particularly. If you have a job, your wage is determined based on the value that you as an individual bring to the work place. If you work at say mcdonald’s making 14 an hour your work is alienable at lower rates compared to an individual writing complex code for say google.
Remember, the fear of automation and the general loss of all human jobs is now over 100 years old and has not come to fruition yet. These are the same fears that led people to destroy printing presses.

I am that single mom they're describing. Getting set up is a struggle and I really wish I could just have some quick help but I don't want to live on a gov. free money system! I just want a little home to call my own and a job with school hours. I worked from home babysitting kids while my child was too young for school and then when he turned five I sent him to school and eventually found a job that had exactly the same hours as school including summer break. I think maybe a better system to put in place for single moms would be helping us all have those school hour jobs so we can provide for and parent our kids without missing out on those short precious years of their lives. It feels good to be able to say I'm earning my own money, when I had been on assistance in the past it felt awful.
The modern world is creating a perfect storm for catastrophic population decline because it's becoming impossible for normal people to raise children. In the past young parents could get married and establish themselves early, have 5 kids and a house by the age of 30. Because generations had kids in their 20s instead of 40s, and moved less, there were multiple generations in the same area so grandparents could raise kids while parents worked and vice versa. Now people graduate HS at 18, college at 22, start their first low-paid job in massive debt, pay off their debts at 35 maybe, buy a house at 40 if they're lucky, and finally be settled to raise kids. The timing is all wrong, it should be healthy and energetic 20-year-olds raising children with help from able 40-50 year-old grandparents; instead it's highly indebted 40-year-olds who are often divorced and isolated trying to raise children while also taking care of their 70-80-year-old decrepit grandparents.

Studies show that UBI doesn’t cause inflation. UBI isn’t printing more money, it’s cycling money to the lowest of society rather than the highest in society. Poor people will spend the money immediately which would actually benefit the economy in multiple ways.
"Let's say that we can solve the money problem without tanking the economy, which is questionable..." Does Shapiro know that if you replace current welfare spending with UBI, you can totally have UBI without increasing budget spending... AND some economist think that it would be better for the economy because that money would circulate? I mean, who knows about the practical aspect, but the math has been done and it checks out.
Headline cost of UBI is 3 trillion. However about 1.2 trillion worth of people will likely stay on welfare since they benefit more than $1,000 a month. So that cuts the spending on UBI to 1.8 trillion a year. 800 billion is estimated to come from the VAT and 1 trillion is estimated to come from the money recirculating in the economy.
UBI program in South Korea has worked out pretty well IMO during the COVID crisis. The government gave out money through a debit card which can only be used in local businesses. Increasing expenditure on local businesses while supporting people in need really helped. Plus the government not shutting down every shop while freaking out with their dicks in their asses really helped....
You are delusional if you think it "WORKED WELL" in Korea. It did absolutely nothing but to create a massive debt. You do realize Koreans will someday pay for that right?
At one of my first jobs as an accountant, there was an older man who scoffed at the idea of "tech" taking away the human element. Fast forward 10 years and we ask every entry candidate what is your familiarity with any type code or data mining/anlysis. Learn to code....even the basic levels.
About "learn to code", I've been unemployed for long times before. The fact that there's endless courses and libraries to teach me a lucrative profession for free, as long as I'm willing to invest the time is highly encouraging. I didn't do it because it's not my thing, but knowing that it's possible is just so incredibly cool.
@@bossman8805 there's a really valid point here (I'm not sure if it's the one you're making or not!). There is a huge amount of really good learning materials available online, a lot for free, and a lot for small amounts of money. Not for every profession, but something like coding (in any environment - web design, software, data science etc.) is an excellent example. You can 100% teach yourself, for free, the skills to be able to do this to a level that would enable you to start working in those fields. The problem, I think (and I think this might be the point you were getting at) is that a huge number of employers look for qualifications over skills - because they are easier to prove when you have a pile of hundreds of resumes to look through. You could be a better programmer than 90% of their existing staff, but if you don't have a degree (or higher qual) from a reputable university, a lot of employers won't look twice. To me, this is a problem that stems from our education system (speaking from a UK perspective, but I believe it reflects the US as well).

Unless technology makes some unprecedented leaps in advancement, labour will be traded for monetary gain indefinitely. There are simply innumerous positions filled by humans whose requirements are far too broad to be programmed and built for at this time. These jobs typically pay the lowest legal wage they can, or not far above so as to procure applicants readily to avoid problems to due to turnover rates.

@@nonyabizness2550 Communism is where the state controls all means of production and there is no free enterprise. The current system in the west nowhere near resembles Communism.
@@abrahkadabra9501 Actually communism is the public controls all production and its never existed. But communism in vernacular has lost its meaning. Its interesting the Russian word for indoctrination and education are the same word. English is more nuanced in this case. But when you think about it they are the same, rather its positive or negative is relative. UBI is wealth redistribution at its core. Wealth redistribution coupled with indoctrination is potentially very dangerous. The trouble is leftist ideas have moving goal posts when it comes to defining it. They say Nazi is right wing. Even though it means national socialist. So it can't be socialism it must be fascism. Socialism means public control of production. But that's never existed nationally. So that would make Hitler and the Bolsheviks using socialism as an excuse for revolutions that turned out to be totalitarianism in both cases and socialism in neither. Then you have the modern liberal demanding democratic socialism. Which is what Belarus and Venezuela have on paper, but not really because the state has control. So its statism. And both are far too corrupt to be democratic. Then of course the talk about western European socialism. Which is really just heavily regulated capitalism governed by constitutional parliaments. Which is what I think they mean when they say democratic socialism. But who knows. They are off selling donuts on Mars. But what I think this kind of UBI will end up at is massive wealth transfer into the hands of the few, and the public with a pitiful allowance and public indoctrination.
@@nonyabizness2550 Your post rambled on incoherently and it was hard to determine what you're point was but I will respond to your statement about UBI being a Communist idea because it is a redistribution of wealth. First, there is no system of government on the planet that is purely Capitalist or Communist so just this fact invalidates your statement that UBI = Communism. Secondly, UBI is an attempt by western governments to deal with the high levels of unemployment that are projected with increased automation and AI. The system of free trade and capitalism (more or less) will still be firmly in place. If you want to continue this discussion please stay on point and keep your thoughts concise. Thank you.
Ben has some good points especially with the crisis of purpose, but to be fair to Andrew I don't think he's ever marketed it as road to new purpose. More of a wealth re-distribution or libertarian welfare system to the 'get the boot off your neck' for basic bills (his words)
@@robinsonc5 try looking at community colleges. Most of them have actual transferable credits that can be used later. If you are low income, it's practically free. If not, I paid 600 bucks this semester and I'm taking 12 units. May vary though depending on the place, but it's still in the ballpark
The crisis of purpose is that 90% of people don’t like their job and most don’t want to or can’t quit on fear of no longer being able to pay their bills. UBI is only part of the solution. The other part is education and discouraging people to not live beyond their means.
There are a lot of people in this world who still don't grasp just how quickly A,I, technology is advancing and its effects on the job market.

Computer software programmes are already doing the same jobs faster and more efficient that used to be done by many highly educated highly paid office workers, Thats why its the people who are at the fore front of technology are talking about the concept of Universal basic Income, because they better that anyone else can see its long term effects. I agree with Ben on a lot of different subjects but even he has not grasped the effects advanced technology is going to have in the near future.

One of the great ironies of history: the social welfare state that is detested by US conservatives was created by a conservative-Otto Von Bismarck. And he created it to prevent socialism. He saw that many were having trouble adjusting to the industrializing economy, and how that could allow socialist agitators to encourage revolution, so he decided to give the people a tangible demonstration that their government was on their side and would support them in time of need, effectively cutting the legs out from under the socialists. Genius.
I support automation in the public sector. Secretary of State, DMV, licensing departments, etc. There are so many government jobs that should automated. Government workers contribute nothing to society, they're burden to it. Force them into the private sector by automating away their jobs.
Yes and no. It’s a cop out on instead of pushing for closing the skills gap. We have more jobs than unemployment individuals. THE FIRST step should be EDUCATION not free handouts. I’m not completely against the IDEA of UBI but the current way it is being pushed is not going to work. Once the boomers all retire we’ll have even more open jobs AND less issues with the older generation not being tech savvy enough to stay employed in their 50’s.

One of the main issues with the disability program, as Yang has stated, is that people on disability are under constant governmental and societal scrutiny. If they go out and get a part time job, they suddenly appear fully able bodied and risk losing their disability. With UBI, it would be condition free. It would urge more people living on disability to apply themselves and find jobs/volunteer work without the risk of shame/being kicked off the program.

I think what Ben is missing is how the current welfare system disincentivizes, even punishes individuals for improving their lot. I’ve seen firsthand how Social Security keeps my special needs sister in a chokehold- if she tried to get a job more than likely she will make over the meager monthly cap & lose her SSI benefits. As an intellectually disabled person with a limited skill set, it’s not easy to find the right job or a flexible employer so she cannot take that risk. Just working at a movie theater one year her income exceeded what she was “allowed” to make, so she spent the next year paying back SSI. Similarly, disadvantaged people have to weigh the risks of getting a poor paying job they could lose any day, & end up losing welfare too. With UBI, at least it’s no strings attached, & no fall-out from trying to get ahead. There is also an intrinsic dignity & sense of autonomy since you’ve been entrusted to do whatever you feel is in your own best interests. It’s a completely different animal in my view.
originallimu well said
#ConservativesWithRealStoriesWhyWereProgressive
originallimu, Im curious as to what the minimum wage is where you are? Here in Maryland the state minimum wage is $10.10/hour (Federal minimum wage is $7.25). Here in Maryland it would take 4.5 hours a week for a month to gross $180 and at the federal rate it would take 6.2 hours a week for a month. I agree with it being bullshit that there is a cap on income to receive benefits. SSI shouldn’t be given based on income. We pay into it for the benefit of being secure socially in case of disability or some extenuating case. It’s insurance and it’s one of the great scams our nation plays out on its citizens. It’s like your never allowed to have it easy ever in life even if only for a moment. Heaven for mind you get a little more than your supposed to, then you get punished and have to pay it back with interest, but our government can go ahead and take from that fund whenever they want without repercussion. It’s a messed up system in deed.
Well, I have to ask. How would her movie theater wages have compared to SS had she not stopped working?
We need a welfare that is temporary and incentivizing for growth.

UBI isn't the solution... it's an ingredient
Yang has repeatedly said that it was a foundation, not THE solution
It depends on what the problem is. If you're talking potential anarchy and social upheaval, then UBI solves that.
The Reason Why Guy
UBI does nothing for people crippled by depression or smothered with a lack of purpose, only social programs can help those issues.
Give an alcoholic an extra thousand dollars and they will just make themselves more drunk, extra money won’t deal with their problems.
More people in the poorest areas of America will just get robbed more once a month, those who get to spend the money won’t spend it better because no one has shown them how.
These are generalizations of course, but we need to deal with the general issues and THEN the specialized cases.
People need purpose and a society that values purpose driven people.
Government can’t do that well.
Yang wants to do what politicians have always done - throw money at a problem until it fixes itself.
Controversial opinion incoming btw
I feel that the best way to run a nation is for the nations government to be the primary employer. Of course you need international businesses to keep markets flowing but small businesses should be operated by a just government. Instead of having a welfare system in place (or like our Australian system Centerlink works) these people would instead be offered a variety of potential jobs created by the government and these can range from mining, clerical (desk jobs) , manufacturing, refining, teaching, marketing and research. They can choose any of these available jobs and the starting rates are all identical. When you climb the corporate ladder in each job your pay increases. Those who refuse to work are given minimal pay but will never have their options taken from them.
With this kind of system in place it would allow these people who want to seek out work and purpose an easier transition into work while also giving them valuable experience.
The reason these programs need to be government operated is bc it allows the government to tailor its demographics by setting what jobs are available. (Assuming the government isn’t inept but if we can ignore the financial issues with UBI we can ignore this).
Additionally these government workplaces will be extremely profitable to the nation as all profits that don’t go into wages, maintenance and expansion go directly to the government. Essentially it’s a 100% tax rate.
Also with politically operated industry it would allow for the individual workers more power in corporate matters as the leaders of these workplaces would be elected by the people and not shareholders. I’m willing to discuss more benefits in a book I’m writing called “The Rationalist Manifesto”. Which is the best attempt I can make at a perfect political system which I feel is balancing rationality (science and debate) with nationalism (strong morals and drive to better the state)
I would very much enjoy a reply even if you just call me a faggot :)
Jake Neylon
I won’t call you a faggot unless you’re a bundle of sticks or see that word as empowering, I don’t even use it on homosexuals I despise.
I see the government’s ability to run businesses in the American DMV and the VA centers, both plagued with bureaucrats and inefficient practices to keep themselves in their positions with no care to the people they should be helping.
The most competent and effective workers/bosses are glossed over so that the most shrewd or conniving get ahead - this is not because of actual corruption but because moral/just people accept reality while those without such encumbrances can lie to their heart’s content and really, who wants to hear an ugly truth over a pretty lie?
Now, apply that to the whole government-business you’re proposing.
How about this for a counter offer:
A government focused on the creation and protection of small businesses.
Let’s pick an arbitrary amount - a million dollars - as the maximum a company can be worth until the government steps in and makes demands about restructuring and making space for more competition in the market.
This would create the best system for ambitious and inventive entrepreneurs.
Large corporations would be gutted, leaving a space for anyone who wishes to make it in any field.
Massive chains of businesses will either be closed or restructured into smaller restaurants.
Target, Walmart, Publix - all those stores will not exist as they are now.
For the average worker, this is the best scenario - anyone could be one promotion or innovation away from being a success!
International businesses would have to adopt this style of business if they wanted to continue serving Americans, which could open several opportunities for our citizens when the markets begin to recover from the inevitable instability that will result from the change in market design.
The most important thing:
It provides an avenue for EVERYONE to have purpose in their lives AND puts a ceiling on success that ANYONE could reach with drive and ambition (short of the absolute bottom 1%, but neither of our programs explicitly help them anyway).
If that’s too far, we can make it where a tax increase is added as the company becomes more successful to disincentivize massive corporations.
Large enough companies would suffer considerably, making way for smaller businesses to work while the near monopolies are throttled.
Punishing the big bullies while allowing the small guy to succeed - the American dream.
I’ll call it the New American Plan, find it in all fine book stores around the time of my presidential candidacy.
$1000.00/mo for every adult over 18 would be a MASSIVE failure... crime, civic problems, food shortages, human trafficking, etc. Money will not resolve these soc problems ...

atleast he come to ben's show bcoz yang hopes ben wont confront his ideology
It's called, "picking your battles." When you present a valid counter to someone who has written a book on their philosophy, the writer grasps at straws, creates false comparisons, and becomes angry. This is not what you want to do when hosting a guest. Ben is simply being courteous during his interactions with Yang. Go watch the video, you will see that he DID touch on these arguments in a very respectful way.
His Daily Wired appearance was an interview, not a debate
Glad because we were able to hear Yang elaborate In other aspects that was a very good interview
People are either missing the point or just don't want to understand it. Yang is a genius, literally a genius. Ben didn't really counter his idea because Yang would have owned him!
I love when these two get together. I hope to keep seeing Ben on this show regularly.
when Shapiro says "they turned the frogs gay" you can see Joe have a flashback to the Alex Jones interview
Human pheromones. They used them in the Vietnam war. Know ur history. Without it u wont know shit ad to why things are intentionally the way they are
Joe Rogan is not allowed to talk about that.
He didn't laugh, because he is not suppose to encourage anything to do with the government's agenda to turn everyone gay to destabilize the Family.
Because the American Family from the 1900s was a structure where a Mom and Dad both passed on knowledge and Wisdom to their genetic offspring.
And the New World Order can't take over the world without taking over people's minds, and they can't take over people's minds if everyone got knowledge of the truth about this world and wisdom from both their Mom and Dad.
So the whole putting chemicals in the water to cause a hormonal imbalance in people to turn the human population gay, is to end the traditional Family, to stop knowledge and wisdom from passing down to the next Generation.
To dumb down society.
And to take away high testosterone, which is known by the radical left as toxic masculinity.
You know masculinity, that thing that makes Men brave enough to stand up against a tyrannical government.
So Joe Rogan can't talk about that.
Or he loses his job if he talks about anything to do with the gay agenda.
Joe is not a sell out as much as he is scared of the people that rule the world, because Joe has a lot to lose.
So he is doing the smart thing to do.
Not the right thing to do by keeping his mouth shut, but the smart thing to do is for him to keep his mouth shut so that he can keep his job, house, cars, bank account, and wife and kids.
You would keep your mouth shut too if you were Joe and you loved your Family.

As for our brain being programmable, well you do know that our brain is nothing more than an organic computer, with software and apps aka education and skills, and yes there are some misinformation and misunderstanding aka viruses in our minds that pollute the rest of the accurate information floating around in our synapses.
Haven't you ever heard of Television programming?
They can program your brain like a coder computer scientist can program a computer.
Human beings are not inherently stupid, that is a new phenomenon, caused by TV, news propaganda, movie propaganda, and yes, even propaganda in textbooks in the public schools we go to.
Here is the neat thing about being human, you can program yourself by studying to become whoever you want in life.
1 person can read the Bible, another person to Koran, another the Torah, another the Buddhist Bible Tripotaka, another a course on evolutionary biology. Another 4 years in college physics another in ancient History. And 90% of the population will take a course on Hollywood propaganda.
We all choose what we study, we are always learning.

I don't what I believe is true that might be incorrect, and what I believe is correct that might be a lie that someone said at some point in History that I now to be truth.
And you Sir, you don't know for sure if everything you believe is actually true.
There is 3 sides to every story.
The truth, the lie, and the real reason based on money.
At the end of the day Joe is loyal to money more than he loyal to you.
Truth and lies, that's irrelevant.
Money, profit, obtaining resources 9 out of 10 is everyone's primary motive to do and say what they do and say.
If money didn't exist, 99% of lies ever made in the History of Humanity would never have been said or written.
Everyone is an opportunist, except for your Mom and if you're lucky enough to grow up with your biological Dad, than in life you can only trust your Mom and Dad who bought you into this world, and your Body is part of theirs.
So since they are loyal to themselves chances are that they are loyal to your wellbeing.
But apart from your pparents who sincerely love you, no one else in this world has your best interest in mind 100% of the time.
Trust no one!
Because everyone's loyalty is to money, not to you.

I'm an undergrad newbie studying various subjects related to artificial intelligence, and I really want to hear from people working in those fields and what they think about the control problem, industry automation, and so on. Thanks.
@@joshuaboulton36 cool, where/what are you studying? if ure interested in AI i recommend a v strong foundation in math (namely: Discrete, Linear, Calc, Probability and Stats for starters). Also what control problem are you referring to?
@@robalexnat I'm a philosophy major in New Zealand, but I include other subjects in my degree program, and have studied software development in the past. For example I've done some discrete math, calculus, linear algebra, and full stack software engineering. This semester I've studying cognitive psychology, Turing, and epistemology and metaphysics. I have courses in automata, logic, discrete math, algorithms, AI programming, Chinese politics, economics, and a few others planned for the rest of my degree, but have already started studying these things by myself. The rest are in most subfields of philosophy.
By 'control problem' I'm referring broadly to the concerns of individuals like Nick Bostrom, regarding our ability to handle potential dangers of artificial and/or superintelligences in the future.
My main interests in philosophy are epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of science, logic, metaethics, philosophy of language (ish - think Wittgenstein etc.), philosophy of mind, and, well, philosophy of artificial intelligence.
@@joshuaboulton36 just saw this. those seem a lot of diverse subjects for an undergrad, im not sure how deep you're going into each considering they are p dense fields. that being said im glad youve taken an interest as it will benefit u in a larger scope, I too studied cognitive psych in my free time for different reasons and believe it helps in our decision making. For the control problem, really isnt a problem is it? You will have the first few to reach the singularity to try and abuse it. However like any successful arms race, there is more than one. The implication I feel is a greater danger of governmental control over citizens, and since governments are made of humans that change, at what point are we being run by the AI? But you can argue the same things about the systems we have in place already: and the truth is is that its a very potent and powerful weapon, but one that also works for what it is programmed. Fortunately, most who can harness that power arent in search of anarchy, however instead we face the danger of 24/7 surveillance, and with integrated tech, being able to read our minds soon, as well.

Gotta keep everything in context.
I respect joe. He aligns more with the left but he isn’t afraid to have a conversation with the opposing view point.
My parents had just turned 17, my mom litterally 1 week before my sister was born... over a month early and blind. They both dropped out of high school, my dad went to work as a mechanic and my mom stayed home. By the time they were 22, they had 3 kids, 2 of whom were blind, but they didn't feel that they could demand our completion of school if neither of them had done it, so as the youngest, when I was around 5 or 6, they both went back to night school and completed their educations. After that, my dad got his college degree from home, all while working 50 or more hours a week. Yes, people make mistakes, but when you get pregnant, it's time to start adulting. Sex is an adult activity, so if you're not adult enough to take on the possible consequences of it, you're not adult enough to do it. Sometimes you have to sacrifice, whether it's money, education, dreams, but someone who isn't willing to sacrifice for the good of their children needs to work on how to be a good human. My parents are still together 45 years later. They are happy and successful with my dad just a few years from a well deserved retirement. They both grew up very poor, children of manual laborers with stay at home moms. They put off their needs and wants to make sure we kids had new school clothes and occasionally things like expensive sneakers. They're empty nesters now, with 3 happy and successful children and they're living the dream. If you make a baby, take care of it before yourself. Pretty simple.
That is an amazing and uplifting story, but the situation now is waaaaayyy different. For example, in the 1960s, it would've cost ~100,000 of TODAYS moneys to buy a home, where as the same home is now selling for ~220,000.
@@A55VOILATOR Average salary in 1960 was $5,600 now it is $44,225. That's a ratio of 17,86 to 4,97 which means that it is 3,59x cheaper to buy a house today. So yes, you are right when you say the situation is waaaaayyy different. Because it is easier.

life tip: We all gotta work, true, but work should not be your purpose, at best they should align.
I mean this is an interesting topic. I think what work is essentially the modern world's supplement to what would've been your role as a tribal member 50,000 years ago. My guess is, what you did for "work" in the tribe gave you purpose, because the fruits of your labor were tangible, in that it directly affected the people of your community eg. (hunting,farming,teaching kids). So I think people may be hardwired to expect what they do to give them meaning, because that is the world the human brain evolved in. Since we are largely disconnected from our work, we don't really know the people whom our work affects, it cannot provide that sense of meaning. So people are left trying to supplement that need for meaning elsewhere. Perhaps you could say though that this is an opportunity for people to find purpose on a deeper level, but I wonder if that is essentially, expecting the biology of your brain to change.

@@noahgarcia5951 Cept Ben is a far right shill. He acted sane during his Yang interview and then goes and shills on Rogan. And whenever people call him out on his bullshit he retracts it and pretends it never happened. Yang already said he wants to legalize opioids so that people aren't worried about going to prison when they want to reach out for help. And that is jsut the beginning.
@Dewayne Thomas. First of all, "Far Right" is not a thing. Not really. Even if it was (like Nazis), Ben is a Jew. (Also, in my opinion the actions of said "Far Right" Nazis are far more reflected by the current day Far Left, than they do the Right. Meaning more governmental control, Confinsation of guns, a single Political Party controled country, Socialist programs and an extreme hatred toward a single race of people as blaming them for the cause of all the problems. In the Left's case this means "Whites".)
Second, Ben "acted sane" as you put it because that's what Interveiwers are Supposed to do. Ask questions of the person that they're interveiwing and then keep their mouths shut. Unlike what the Left has been doing which is demonize anything you have to say that doesn't apply to the narative that they want you to say. Ask any documentarian. Heck ask Casey Jay why she kept her mouth shut when she was doing all of her interveiws despite she hated what the MRA's had to say. (Her TedEd Talk can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/3WMuzhQXJoY/v-deo.html )
Third, "whenever people call him out on his bullshit", you mean whenever people try to tell Ben what he said incorrectly? Like how you call what Ben did here with Rogan as "shilling". Or perhaps durring the times where he's quoted saying something before (as in years prior) without any regard that time has passed by. Thus, mistakes (if any) are discovered and retracted properly, or opinions have changed due to new facts that have been discovered.
Forth, Ben has always had this opinion Reguardless of Yang's existence and he is raising the exact same points that any sane person would on the topics. (Heck, there are a number of things that I noticed about his interveiw with Yang. For starters, Yang never actually Answers the questions that he's asked. He tells a story, vaguely mentions the topic, but never really answers.)

I find it interesting that Ben is critical of UBI basing its success on people making the right decisions with money (they'd use it in ways that benefits nobody) but he also bases the concept of proper child raising by the parents staying together (even though one could be abusive, a drug addict, etc).
Basically, both are hopeful that a good scenario plays out for them to work and both can fail because they don't.

Billions to Fauci, who has used it to torture Beagles with sand flies for no discernable reason...
And we still don't have UBI. If we're going to print trillions, we can at least give it to the people, instead of torturing puppies and arming terrorists.

Nah. The government needs it too much to fund their incompetent bureaucracy and failed/inefficient programs.
Resolutionz lol i lose like $200-$300 a week in taxes
Yes, you can keep it. But everyone needs to pay their fair share.
Let's imagine an America where no one pays taxes but everyone has to individually pay for every single service that their tax dollars used to cover. For instance, toll bridges will be everywhere. The first responders will demand payment before responding to emergency call and patrolmen will demand payment from you, simply because you weren't accosted. The mailman won't let go of your mail until you pay up. No more FICA. The military won't stand guard until they receive their cut from everybody. A state of emergency has to be paid for upfront in the aftermath of a natural disaster decimating your community. No SSI or Medicaid/ Medicare programs for grandma or grandbaby. So grandma either needs to have a foolproof retirement plan, a trust fund, win the lottery, or else get a job at some major monopoly until the day she croaks. NO USDA or FDA regulations probably would lower -quality- prices of consumer goods though.

Actually with UBI, people will pursue their interest, what they really want in life.. Not everyone is a fan of being employed, having to work 9-5 is exhausting... Most people want to be free from corporate slavery.. and focus more in all areas of health and choose to become happy.. the goal is financial freedom.
Again that’s foolish to say that will just overall be good for the individuals and the country as a whole. We can’t all be making a living as an artist, that will destroy our country even through just a basic policy level. Also have you seen the top level artists of our country? These guys are millionaires and are still dealing with extreme depression, and drug dependency. Most people can’t handle that level of success or the isolation that it takes to be a unique artist.
Not particularly. If you have a job, your wage is determined based on the value that you as an individual bring to the work place. If you work at say mcdonald’s making 14 an hour your work is alienable at lower rates compared to an individual writing complex code for say google.

I am that single mom they're describing. Getting set up is a struggle and I really wish I could just have some quick help but I don't want to live on a gov. free money system! I just want a little home to call my own and a job with school hours. I worked from home babysitting kids while my child was too young for school and then when he turned five I sent him to school and eventually found a job that had exactly the same hours as school including summer break. I think maybe a better system to put in place for single moms would be helping us all have those school hour jobs so we can provide for and parent our kids without missing out on those short precious years of their lives. It feels good to be able to say I'm earning my own money, when I had been on assistance in the past it felt awful.
The modern world is creating a perfect storm for catastrophic population decline because it's becoming impossible for normal people to raise children. In the past young parents could get married and establish themselves early, have 5 kids and a house by the age of 30. Because generations had kids in their 20s instead of 40s, and moved less, there were multiple generations in the same area so grandparents could raise kids while parents worked and vice versa. Now people graduate HS at 18, college at 22, start their first low-paid job in massive debt, pay off their debts at 35 maybe, buy a house at 40 if they're lucky, and finally be settled to raise kids. The timing is all wrong, it should be healthy and energetic 20-year-olds raising children with help from able 40-50 year-old grandparents; instead it's highly indebted 40-year-olds who are often divorced and isolated trying to raise children while also taking care of their 70-80-year-old decrepit grandparents.

Studies show that UBI doesn’t cause inflation. UBI isn’t printing more money, it’s cycling money to the lowest of society rather than the highest in society. Poor people will spend the money immediately which would actually benefit the economy in multiple ways.

Does Shapiro know that if you replace current welfare spending with UBI, you can totally have UBI without increasing budget spending... AND some economist think that it would be better for the economy because that money would circulate? I mean, who knows about the practical aspect, but the math has been done and it checks out.

@@robertkirschman6286 200+ million US adults getting $1000 a month for 12 months is near 3 trillion.
Headline cost of UBI is 3 trillion. However about 1.2 trillion worth of people will likely stay on welfare since they benefit more than $1,000 a month. So that cuts the spending on UBI to 1.8 trillion a year. 800 billion is estimated to come from the VAT and 1 trillion is estimated to come from the money recirculating in the economy.
UBI program in South Korea has worked out pretty well IMO during the COVID crisis. The government gave out money through a debit card which can only be used in local businesses. Increasing expenditure on local businesses while supporting people in need really helped.

You can 100% teach yourself, for free, the skills to be able to do this to a level that would enable you to start working in those fields. The problem, I think (and I think this might be the point you were getting at) is that a huge number of employers look for qualifications over skills - because they are easier to prove when you have a pile of hundreds of resumes to look through. You could be a better programmer than 90% of their existing staff, but if you don't have a degree (or higher qual) from a reputable university, a lot of employers won't look twice.

Wealth redistribution coupled with indoctrination is potentially very dangerous. The trouble is leftist ideas have moving goal posts when it comes to defining it. They say Nazi is right wing. Even though it means national socialist. So it can't be socialism it must be fascism. Socialism means public control of production. But that's never existed nationally. So that would make Hitler and the Bolsheviks using socialism as an excuse for revolutions that turned out to be totalitarianism in both cases and socialism in neither.

But what I think this kind of UBI will end up at is massive wealth transfer into the hands of the few, and the public with a pitiful allowance and public indoctrination.
@@nonyabizness2550 Your post rambled on incoherently and it was hard to determine what you're point was but I will respond to your statement about UBI being a Communist idea because it is a redistribution of wealth.
First, there is no system of government on the planet that is purely Capitalist or Communist so just this fact invalidates your statement that UBI = Communism. Secondly, UBI is an attempt by western governments to deal with the high levels of unemployment that are projected with increased automation and AI. The system of free trade and capitalism (more or less) will still be firmly in place.
If you want to continue this discussion please stay on point and keep your thoughts concise. Thank you.

Ben has some good points especially with the crisis of purpose, but to be fair to Andrew I don't think he's ever marketed it as road to new purpose. More of a wealth re-distribution or libertarian welfare system to the 'get the boot off your neck' for basic bills (his words)
Thank you for respectful discussion...
LMAO UBI is anything but liberterian my dude. It's about as far from it as possible. Where'd you get that idea in your head
Charles Dodson Where do you get to go to college for free?
@@robinsonc5 try looking at community colleges. Most of them have actual transferable credits that can be used later. If you are low income, it's practically free. If not, I paid 600 bucks this semester and I'm taking 12 units. May vary though depending on the place, but it's still in the ballpark
The crisis of purpose is that 90% of people don’t like their job and most don’t want to or can’t quit on fear of no longer being able to pay their bills. UBI is only part of the solution. The other part is education and discouraging people to not live beyond their means.
There are a lot of people in this world who still don't grasp just how quickly A,I, technology is advancing and its effects on the job market. People always think it's only going to effect the unskilled , its not just unskilled workers who will be loosing their jobs due to A.I. in the near future, its also going to be skilled professionals too. Computer software programmes are already doing the same jobs faster and more efficient that used to be done by many highly educated highly paid office workers, Thats why its the people who are at the fore front of technology are talking about the concept of Universal basic Income, because they better that anyone else can see its long term effects. I agree with Ben on a lot of different subjects but even he has not grasped the effects advanced technology is going to have in the near future. But in fairness I don't think he's a tech nerd so like most people he doesn't quite see it yet.

This won’t get as many likes as it deserves
Yes that is a Kippah; Shapiro is Jewish.
Whos still talking about "learn to code" today? That was so February 2019

I don't have that case right in front of me, but it's something we'll look into.
Nic S Because Twitter is still in business, still blatantly banning conservatives but not liberals, and Dorsey and his pathetic dingbat ‘general council ‘ came on Joe’s show and lied to his face.

The fact that we do not want to continue discussing bullshit reasons as to why we are limited in speech on the internet after only two weeks is the actual problem.
Good luck keeping your liberties with such a short memory.

Something's gotta give. Automation continually eats up jobs it's only a matter of time before some kind of adjustment has to be made.
One of the great ironies of history: the social welfare state that is detested by US conservatives was created by a conservative-Otto Von Bismarck. And he created it to prevent socialism. He saw that many were having trouble adjusting to the industrializing economy, and how that could allow socialist agitators to encourage revolution, so he decided to give the people a tangible demonstration that their government was on their side and would support them in time of need, effectively cutting the legs out from under the socialists. Genius.
@A M Impossible because anything that reduces costs/expenses will be embraced by businesses. It's a kind of evolution / selection.
I support automation in the public sector. Secretary of State, DMV, licensing departments, etc. There are so many government jobs that should automated. Government workers contribute nothing to society, they're burden to it. Force them into the private sector by automating away their jobs.
Yes and no.
It’s a cop out on instead of pushing for closing the skills gap. We have more jobs than unemployment individuals.
THE FIRST step should be EDUCATION not free handouts. I’m not completely against the IDEA of UBI but the current way it is being pushed is not going to work.
Once the boomers all retire we’ll have even more open jobs AND less issues with the older generation not being tech savvy enough to stay employed in their 50’s.
@@nathanhedglin931 It's just going to keep getting worse. You are speaking as if it isn't. There is already AI which does some white collar work just as well as humans and faster. Note that in my comment I said, "... it's only a matter of time.". Take a look online for other info. ABCD
