@D2Synua most people are just like you and me. They'd take some extra income and invest it in education, furniture, clothes.

@trwnh money is a great way to measure value and exchange rates for objects. I don't agree that we should get rid of it.

@mpjgregoire I don't agree with your premise. I find work exhausting. I'd be happy to stay home all day and work on Open Source, my garden, writing, doing projects with my kids.

Wow, this is a very popular poll! Lots of responses.

I think what the comments show is that there are a lot of ideas and designs for how UBI could work.

I think the poll response shows that a lot of people want it to work.

I'm a qualified yes. I think all people have a right to the basics: food, shelter, education, and so on. UBI could do that. If UBI became a substitute for providing these to people, I'd be opposed.

Thanks everyone for responses!

@mike if you find a good one, let me know. I know @scottsantens covers the topic a lot, so he might have some pointers for where to get started.

@mike probably a lot! I think Wikipedia might be a good place to start.

@ElleGray

@dariaphoebe I shared this link before. It might be an interesting read for you!

Maybe the fact that you don't feel like you particularly belong anywhere could be freeing?

Like, if you don't feel like you particularly belong anywhere, then there's no place that's better than where you're at?

Just a thought, hope it helps.

@monnier it's amanita muscaria.

Look out boys, she'll chew you up

@1994clipart who is this? I can't find any info on him.

@MarchViolet good way to spend it. Happy birthday!

@inthehands Put another way: projects don't fail because of our struggles with writing code but because of our struggles with communicating with people.

@Gargron Mabrouk!

@davidgarywood nice. New Zealand is a good home for wonderful people.

@mgaruccio I guess it's just having a resilient network that can handle having nodes that are just very occasionally available. Anyways, neat problem to think about.

@surfbum oh good. I want to do what's right for this community and for the internet, and sometimes that means telling well-meaning people they're on the wrong track.

The advice I gave my 17-year-old daughter is this: keep a base here in Montreal, and visit other places as much as you can. Live in them temporarily for months or even years. But keep this place as your home.

My kids both grew up here their entire lives. I feel like that was a big gift we gave them. I hope they know how important it is to keep it, and I hope they never feel stifled by it.

Deciding where you live on this planet is a huge privilege. Most people don't get to choose. The globe isn't a Tinder app they can swipe left and right on.

I'm glad I and my kids have a lot of optionality, but that comes with some pressure to make the right decisions.
