Right because in some situations people live in dysfunctional families and dysfunctional neighborhoods where the people around them aren't really that helpful we can't keep demonizing the government even though the government isn't perfect we have to zoom out and see the big picture not just look at things with our own lens.

Actually UBI would get rid of the current bureaucratic structure we have an the straight cash would cut all the spending the bureaucrats get right now.

@QandC Hej min kompis funny you should mention that because they last place I traveled was Stockholm. In fact if I could get out of the United States (which is becoming an asylum we had 2 mass shootings in less than 24 hours) I'd probably want to move somewhere which is either Australia, New Zealand, or the Scandinavian countries. Here in the United States it's very hard to get your first job now there are way too many people living in LA where I live and the social safety nets have gigantic holes in them. Here in the US you don't fall through the cracks you have a whole mess of people stuck in grand canyons. I was actually asking one of the hostel workers how differently education works in Sweden and he said you guys have something called gymnasium which is kind of funny because I doubt you learn gymnastics there. Anyway jokes aside I think if Andrew Yang doesn't win this next election the US is toast it's over and done with. With his UBI I can use that money to hopefully start a business invest in my Communications course and do something to finally get out of the financial rut I find myself stuck in.

@Yog Can't wait for him to debate with all the libertarian channels conservatives etc. Or maybe that's taking it a bit too far they'd all get an aneurysm. I see you're new here when did you first hear of Leo? Also he had done some interviews with these dating coaches I forgot if he was interviewing or the one being interviewed.

@QandC I like it because it creates a mindset of abundance as opposed to scarcity. As per your workforce question we have the incentives ass backwards the current welfare model pays you to NOT work if you work the money goes away. The Freedom Dividend model says you get the money no matter what and when you do work it doesn't go way. That's a way better deal for me. What country are you from by the way?

How did you apply for that job?

@Bodigger What were you doing in the sewers? Did you ever see a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?

Where did you get the money to buy that house and where did you get the job to make that money? Were you born rich or poor? Remember what Leo said what government would I want if I were reincarnated as someone different. It's so easy to look at this from YOUR point of view.

If someone has hoards all the food, resources, and wealth before you were born then what's stopping them from only determining to give it to you if you work for them. You can either work for them or starve it may not be "force" but, that's what happens.

Would you rather it be someone who had a ton of money and just forced you to work on their farm to survive? That's what happens with slavery instead.

I'm not against that Buckminster Fuller said instead of going up against the current system create a better one and people will come to that.

Didn't I say it wasn't perfect and a system of trail an error. In no way am I enamored by the government but, having some form of justice is better than chaos everywhere and being in fear for your life all the time.

@Joseph Maynor It's up to the people to legitimately police the government. It's not going to be perfect but, it's a process of trial and error.

Yup.

Without that all you have is the law of the jungle and survival mode. It's a very medieval existence for a modern world.

@Bodigger We look at them so some jerk at the top of the food chain can't just make us all into slaves by controlling all the resources and shutting off the access to those resources we need for our basic survival. If someone had the power to force and coerce you to do things and controlled all the resources and the only way you'd survive is to work for them how could you ever grow? They'd just make you work and work and give you no time to think and nobody could stop them from doing that to you. Do you think the slaves would've liked it if the government stepped in and said slavery is illegal? It's there as a protection against the worst most despicable type of predators. Now the unfortunate thing is sometimes these predators can co opt the government in various ways and make the government do what they want to do and some of this unfortunately is the sad reality in our world Today with things like wage slavery and dark money. If we're responsible conscious human beings we take a look at these things and see what we can do about these things to make sure that nobody feels like they can't make it in the world or there life is just a tool for someone higher up in a social food chain than they are because it's fundamentally sick and unfair.

Reality TV is unconscious https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/455675-yang-calls-out-reality-tv-show-style-elections-that-resulted-in-trump-we

Anyway I was wondering about this topic because it seems that Mainstream media and social media is extremely unconscious. Mainstream media optimizes for views not Consciousness if it bleeds it leads and @Leo Gura also talked about how he got rid of cable completely because it's such a gigantic waste of time. Social media isn't that much better either it's mostly nonsense and people taking pictures of everything they can take a picture of and everyone wants to be a celebrity for mostly all the wrong reasons. Everyone wants validation from social media eyeballs and likes. I'm wondering how we can immerse ourselves in media that has to do with Self-Actualization other than this forum and what Leo has to offer. Media where we feel we're among things that actually matter and make a positive difference in our lives. If we can't do that at least putting pressure on media producers that produce feel bad or trash media (like tabloid things) and demand for something better. If our media with our Politics could be conscious then things would be so much better. I feel as we're living in this digital dark age of vacuous vapid nonsense and no one's really calling it out for what it is. What do you guys think?

Yes I have done that from time to time. Just imagine if others learned about it though through conscious media

Unconsciousness and survival agenda

@tenta Right that's why he's blindfolded he refuses to see.

@Emeline This is why when I didn't know the real Libertarianism is, why it disgusted me so much. This is the American bastardized libertarianism at its finest and it's completely grotesque these devils want to roll back the clock to the dark ages.

No I really don't think so. California has a ton of problems especially LA. I'm lucky I'm conscious but, I got to start making my community more conscious.

@Emeline It's sad they rather be watching some dumb reality TV show. My city is drenched with celebrity culture BS it's LA.
