Isn't that just really standard employment? Or maybe similar to an academic tenure position? I think UBI is meant to be "universal", with no prerequisites.

- jotjotzzz 9y agoSomething freely given becomes less valuable versus something given through being earned. It is really not a standard employment, because you have no employer except perhaps your community or city who pays you the UBI. But being paid means you give something first. What you give is contributing to society, your tribe. This is similar to the notion of tribes. If you want to be part of the tribe, you better contribute, by hunting for food or making something for the tribe.
- mattnewton 9y agoOne of the key efficiencies that UBI is supposed to bring over welfare is in cutting out the bureaucracy of determining who is worthy.
