Thanks for the definition, interesting idea. I hope people start to define how this can be accomplished. I've heard for a while now about basic income but I've yet to read how it can be implemented given our current social environment. I rather read more about how to make it a reality rather than it's good or bad. Like everything, it can be debated for ever but we won't really know it's benefits or shortcomings unless it's put into place. The basic income advocates have started with pilot projects which is good. It would be nice to at least start the discussion on how to implement it for basic robot.
