do some amount like $1,200 a month for every American and just start paying it out as quickly as you can and let them know, look, this is from the gains of AI.

And that would improve the attitude towards AI very, very quickly because the average American doesn't see themselves benefiting.

But if they actually felt it in their bank account, then they would actually be pretty positive about it.

So...

One of the misconceptions for me about UBI is thinking that a check actually replaces a job.

I mean, a job is structure, purpose, fulfillment, community, a place to go in the morning, training, value, like all of those things.

And so to me, the major question that we face is how do you have millions of Americans get all of those things at a time when our labor becomes more and more irrelevant and

And to me, there are two directional paths you could take.

One is we're going to put money into everyone's hands, and then you're going to start businesses, start nonprofits, start sewing clubs, start whatever the heck you want that ends up creating this structure, purpose, fulfillment community that you want.

Or...

we have the government try and do those things.

And I got in an argument with Bernie Sanders about this back in 2020, where he was like, you know, no UBI, like government should just guarantee a job for everyone.

And then I said, do you want to give everyone gray overalls and a pickaxe while you're at it?

Like, you know, those government jobs would end up being, in my mind, kind of paternalistic and dehumanizing.

So I would much prefer that

individuals and communities start stuff that reflects them and their values and their aspirations rather than the public sector tries to step in and provide all of that wholesale.

I take them seriously.

I see them as low probability, very, very high impact.

And then the other one is, in my mind, near 100% probability and also high impact, like around economy and jobs.

It's happening now, so I tend to focus more on that one.
