I believe the moderators will on occasion reset the timer for submissions they feel didn't get a good enough reception the first time around. Presumably this post is one such.

Any practical UBI will require a large increase in taxes. If this isn't an income tax, it will be a payroll or sales tax, which both have a similar effect. A UBI pilot needs to model that tax just as much as the actual money transfer.

How do you expect UBI to be funded? Either taxes or wars, and we haven't invested very much in our army.

Suppose we could identify some basis for meaning that we could be reasonably sure would be shared with beings in other universes - a Schelling point for meaning, if you will. Such a thing would be neither based on the laws of physics, nor r

I think the question to be asked is why you wanted to start a company in the first place. It's obviously not an end unto itself. Maybe you think of it as a way to get rich. In that case, I think you could justify staying at whichever c

The money will funnel back into the US eventually anyways. Unless you have some reason to prefer giving defense contractors the money, the money might as well go to whatever middle eastern people like to buy from the US. The advantage of th

Level 1 is already common in many cars whose drivers don't even know it. This entails preventing exactly the issue discussed, protecting drivers against mistakes and sudden occurences. If a child runs out on the street, for example, th

If the goal is to avoid bankruptcy, then the probability needs to be interpreted differently. If you bet the house every time, you're guaranteed to go bankrupt eventually. Suppose instead you bet half your money on an event of 50% prob

We're planning on building a number of new windmills today. So long as potential future increases in wind speed are taken into account in their construction, this would be a straight benefit.

I don't think rationality is a good way of looking at it. Rationality is defined over some goal, and there's no obvious goal here. The better way of looking at it is to say that the military teaches them to treat their own life as

I don't think people understand how bad the third one is. If 100 labs try an idea and only one publishes, then clearly we can get a spurious p-value of .01. But what if 10 labs try it, and 7 publish their non-significant results. Then,
