The vast majority of people who read it understood. Below are examples of why (including the subtitle):
Why Universal Basic Income Won’t Work
And What We Can Do To Fix It
“ I’ll focus on why it might not work (and what we need to do to fix this overlooked problem that threatens to take the whole ship down with it).”
“…A population in which UBI succeeds is a population who is not paralyzed by the freedom they’d have to make career decisions that were not just about money. It’s a community of people who understand how they want to impact other people and the world. It’s a self-aware bunch that has spent time exploring their strengths and weaknesses, interests and passions. It’s a group that doesn’t need someone to constantly give them instructions and answer keys, because starting when they were young, they learned to tap into intrinsic motivation as a guide.
While we spend the next decade arguing over how to fund UBI, how to implement it, and how big it should be, we can also start preparing people for the massive mindset shift that is essential to the success of UBI. We can start by envisioning the future we’d want to create if we didn’t have to rely on jobs to meet our most basic needs. We can begin by helping the next generation define what success means to them individually, and offering them the tools to build their own path to achieve it. And we can do so by being an example, taking the lead in doing it ourselves.”
