It’s Time for Technology to Serve all Humankind with Unconditional Basic Income
In this long-form piece by Scott Santens that’s actually the text of the keynote speech he gave last year at an international software developers conference in Sweden, a multi-faceted argument in support of UBI is presented from a wide range of perspectives that also serves to put the automation discussion into a wider context as well.
Clocking in at 33 minutes according to Medium’s reading time estimator, it’s no short skim of a read, but as far as in-depth looks at Unconditional Basic Income go, it’s well worth the time to read and share with others to go beyond the superficial looks at UBI, and explore what the idea is really about, the evidence that already exists in support of it, and the opportunities it presents for our present and future as a civilization.
