Thanks Echidna for keeping the topic alive, and what an important topic it is!

UBI is becoming a point of principle, where innovation and freedom battles conservatism and repression. Where Enlightenment fight tradition.

We see it all around as UBI or "UBIesque"experiments are set up and then, as the political tide changes, rescinded or cut down (for instance in Canada or in Finland).
In the constant reappraisal of debunked UBI counterarguments or in the wholesale shift of an entire country toward decivilisation.

Hell...we live in a country that is rapidly declining.

My point is that we live in crucial times, a time of efforts and struggle but also of great potentials. UBI is perhaps a topic and a social reform that can deliver profound changes. Both in the way we think and the way future generations will live.

A reflection perhaps of timeless conflict. On one hand the egocentric belief that one can enjoy and pass material possessions to one's bloodline to the advantage of others and on the other the rational appraisal that the highest treasure I and my descendants can enjoy is the ability and the opportunity to think and live for our own individual merits.

I myself I have been fighting my own demons and apologise for not been more active on the Forum.
I am hearten however that many are still contributing.
