    Will it ever be possible to make economic predictions? And will Universal Basic Income just be the bribe to accept a microchip implant? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

      In order for you to predict the future you have to create it. And if the World Economic Forum is creating your future by lies in your face then how the hell can you predict it with textbook economic tools. Prof. Richard Werner is debunking the lies for you. Take heed.

    I don't know much about Richard Werner but if he has been right in his predictions for the past thirty five years, he's the only economist who has!!

    We don’t need to guess what effect a UBI would have on the economy. We witnessed it during the covid debacle. It resulted in record inflation, accelerated the housing crisis, eventually led to record use of the food banks because groceries and rent are unaffordable and was overall a complete failure assuming the goal was creating an affordable life for the less fortunate.

    So, global warming or another pandemic (the government response was the catastrophe, not the pandemic) are the black swans, not 32 trillion in debt, rouge third world nuclear powers etc. 500 financials shocks since 1980……can you list each one. BTW the market is up ever so slightly since 1980 despite 500 financials crises. About 3700%.

    Second contributor didn't really address te question and went on to talk about Anti Fragility.
    Economists fall into different schools of thought and most universities fall under one and dont view things holistically.

      It has never been but rather an art of mass manipulation and social engineering. It's sad how humans do not wish each other well and seek to disadvantage each other or eliminate each other.

    @nandayoo Год назад +2

    the 2 are on odd mix - Werner is/seems libertarian yet he thinks you can predict the market behavior (central planning? really?)? & Standing righteously so agrees with Taleb on randomness (& how you can't predict events)... you should be building for antifragility... yet he wants to put it in the hands of the state which Taleb clearly argues against!!! (the so called fragilistas & the epistemologists...) 😂 these 2 are "pick n mix" economists... they both hold contradictory ideas & seem not to see anything wrong with that

    We are not equally vulnerable and to hell with universal basic income. Use the basic income to insure uncertainty if it's available for everyone. Stop lying.

    Idk. We will see. In the end UBI is preferred because it's less money in the hands of the government to Lord over people. If it's truly universal.
    Not totally sold but negative taxes sounds good and if that's more impactful for those with not much then that sounds good.

      Less money in the hands of the government? Where is UBI coming from?

    • @partydean17
      @partydean17 6 месяцев назад

      @psycadelic2009 well it's taxes collected but instead of going toward a welfare program where most of the money is used to pay for bureaucrats it just goes directly to the citizens themselves.

    UBI can be introduced over a five year period in Western countries, once the population requires it. However the world as a whole should immediately ensure that there is a basic social security threshold in every country of no lower that 2 dollars 50 cents per day
    As we see with this debate it is very easy to debunk ideas like UBI with unrelated nonsence and distractions.
    Similarly with global social welfare threshold. The first opponents will say that the west should not subsidise irresponsible governments but modern finance is well able to make deductions to balance out aid to countries which are irresponsible.
