Fair point. I guess you could run an experiment where money is simply taken away from people, destroyed and then look at the effect of that in isolation.

But... UBI doesn't destroy what might be taken away. That money immediately goes and does work, and eventually it potentially improves the environment of those it was taken from. In the form of fewer social issues. Is the theory anyway.

Fascinating. I wonder where he finds his volunteers. :-)
