Article lacks any semblance of credibility. Not worth reading.

The author is naively mistaken in what dictates outcomes. Incentives dictate outcomes, there's a lot of flawed thinking and wrong conclusions made by the author.

Much of the argument relies heavily on survivorship bias and painting implausible examples. It also completely neglects any basic understanding of what happens with economic systems. Most specifically, how UBI would solve the economic calculation problem (point in fact it doesn't, it makes it worse because there's no price discovery). So what the author actually is promoting is a rapid approach to all the consequences found in the economic calculation problem, though they fall just short of saying so.

This reads more like soft propaganda than it does anything educated or rational.
