RE: The Monsters, Inc. Argument for Unconditional Basic Income: How to convert an economy based on fear to one based on joy

Hey, thanks for bringing up Maslow again. :)

I'm already on Manna. Will sign up for Swift, too.

Your article brings up another reason I like the concept of basic income. One thing that I've thought about with the idea of everyone doing what they want to do is this:

There will always be people who want to do the job that no one else wants to do. They want to solve problems with the skills and experience they have. There are 7 billion people on the planet. Someone out there really enjoys designing systems that turn sewage into something useful and benign to the environment. Someone out there enjoys taking our garbage from the street. Someone enjoys serving meals to the elderly.

The diversity of human beings ensures that someone has a desire to do any job that needs to be done, and no force is required to make him do it. I have a fair amount of confidence that with a basic income for everyone, the right person will be attracted to the right job.
