One may believe that many bad things in society stem from our instinctive fear of loosing out on valuable resources for our survival. F.ex I think it’s pretty commonly agreed that a safe environment, where failure is not fatal, may promote creativity and innovation better than an environment where failure gets you ousted. Some would even argue that the same fear is a powerful force in shaping less desirable behavior. F.ex when used as a tool for manipulation. UBI, some argue, may address a large source of such fears. Especially in a highly creative group, such as I imagine the hn-audience to be, this may be a strongly felt belief. I think it’s quite natural that it’s a promise that would trigger a bit of zealotry in that group.
