TLDR:
Misleading title, waste of time. "Finland is analyzing the results to see what lessons can be learned." - that's all the substance there is.
It's just a video of two randomly picked persons of this experiment, which doesn't tell anything.
- gamesbrainiac 8y agoThats exactly how I felt at the end of the video. They just ended it, and now they are analyzing the data. It does not say if they will restart the program after their assessment or if they will just end it for good. From the people in the video, what it seems to show is that it can give people some confidence to pursue what they want to do, but at the same time, it does not seem to permanently change their life. I think a longer term study is needed. Furthermore, it is not clear if people will start doing more altruistic work if they have UBI like contributing to open source or working at a non-profit organization.
