Calling it wishful thinking is incredibly dismissive and contemptuous.
If you were genuinely interested, you could read the multiple articles I have already written and linked to. I don't think you have bothered to do that.
I see no reason to engage further.
- ThomPete 9y agoI call it that because you haven't actually answered the question I asked you with regards to why people would choose that over technology. Keep in mind you are the one who claimed that we can just design things the way we want them, yet you haven't actually provided anything close to an argument here. That the gig-economy works for you is great, it's just not an actual argument and it's definitely not an argument against UBI. Furthermore if you can't actually formulate your own thinking in a comment but are so lazy that you just point me to go read something you are actually showing who isn't really genuinely intersted in this debate.
- dang 9y agoThis crosses into personal attack. You can't do that here, regardless of how wrong or annoying someone else's comment is, and we ban accounts that do it repeatedly. Would you please (re)-read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and fix this?
- ThomPete 9y agoI have been participating on HN for years never been accused of that before. What exactly are you referring to? Furthermore I can't fix anything as I can't edit.
- dang 9y agoI'm referring to the personal swipes in "if you can't actually formulate your own thinking in a comment but are so lazy", etc. Yes, there's an "if", but it's still unduly personal. That's why I said "crosses into" rather than "is". By "fix" I just mean editing that kind of thing out in the future. Shouldn't be hard. And thanks for being an excellent HN contributor!
