I recently met one of my heroes Andrew Yang. In this episode, starting around 22nd minute mark, we started talking about benefits of policies like universal daycare, and we got into Andrew Yang, the additive compounding benefits from his various policy ideas, the potential of automation to help or to harm, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, post-scarcity, and how work, meaning, survival, and dignity might change as AI and automation keep moving faster.
We are all in this together. Lets work together.
Andrew Yang was every bit as nice, intelligent and thoughtful in real life as he comes off in his interviews. Lets find a way to meet everyones most fundamental Maslowian Needs, UBI or any other effective method to supplant scarcity and fear with security and optimism.

Allow the models to compete in your mind like candidates in debate, not gods in a temple.
