On March 1st, 2019 I did an AMA (Ask Me Something) within the /r/YangForPresidentHQ subreddit the day after Andrew Yang did his AMA within the /r/politics subreddit. For about three to 4 hours I answered questions from individuals new to the thought of UBI in addition to those that’ve recognized about it for years. On this episode I learn these questions and my solutions to them.

Great talk. Very open-Minded and clear thinking. Appreciate this.
It would be great to add links in the description to any further research on each of these questions. There are tons of people out there, especially on YouTube, asking questions about UBI and this would be a great video to link them to. It would be useful if it included some more rabbit holes for them to disappear down when they think they've got another devastatingly smart critique to make. 😀
thoughts on Question #1: It always strikes me as odd that we feel the need to empirically justify the utility of giving people money. There's nothing untested about giving people unearned cash. Rich familes have been doing it since the dawn of time. So it makes me wonder, is it really giving people money that we feel demands special evidence, or is it giving poor people money that demands special evidence? If the latter question, and not the former, then isn't that just classist? At the end of the day, aren't we just lumping an unjustifiable burden of proof on the poor because we've been so deeply indoctrinated into classist thinking?

Thanks
You rock Scott. Thank you for everything you do. You are a true super man.
I have found you on both Twitter and here and did nor realize before now it was the same person. Love your effort of promoting and informing about UBI! Keep up the great work! =)
