> I truly want to believe in a UBI in some form, but I find the language of "entrepreneurial idea[s]" to be a little repulsive. I agree. I mean, it would certainly enable some people to become entrepreneurs, and that's awesome! But it shouldn't be phrased in a way that people feel forced to become entrepreneurs, and feel worthless if they don't manage to. (That's one of the problems with unemployment "benefits" in many places, which are tied to pressure to find a job, any job, and lose the "benefits" if you "succeed". No wonder many people crack under this pressure and become depressed alcoholics.) The same goes for worries a UBI might decrease "employment". Um, yes? If there were a UBI I could live off, I might well drop my job and do research/develop free software full time. That would be a decrease in employment but quite possibly a net win for society. We need to stop viewing everything through the lens of (paid) work ethics.
