The first part of this series was a real success. Plenty of good arguments from different people with different opinions. Awesome. So here is argument number two.
The world is full of crazy arguments. For every belief you hold, there is someone out there who passionately argues for the exact opposite. Yet few arguments are logically consistent and hard to refute. That's why I want to invite you to argue against me.
Every couple of days I'll post a statement that I want you to argue against in the comment section. Depending on the amount of engagement I'll give away parts of the post payout for the best arguments. I am looking for logic, eloquence, originality etc... So let's start.
#2 Universal Basic Income
With every aspect of our lives becoming more and more automated, there is only one solution to distribute excess productivity to those whose jobs will be eliminated by robots and AI. A universal basic income should be paid unconditionally to everybody to cover expenses for basic needs. This would also mean true freedom for anyone. Multiple trials in different countries show the potential of this idea.
Can you make a good argument against this claim?
