“When a sensible argument can be made for Universal Basic Income across conservative, liberal, and libertarian principles, then it follows that UBI should be pursued as an effective policy that transcends ideologies because of its common sense.” From a signer of the AI Pledge for Humanity (for UBI)
Promotional graphic for The AI Pledge for Humanity. A muted beige layout features a wide banner image at the top showing a lone figure standing on reflective shallow water beside a large black letter A, with the text “The A Pledge for Humanity.” Below, a quote from a pledge signer reads: “When a sensible argument can be made for Universal Basic Income across conservative, liberal, and libertarian principles, then it follows that UBI should be pursued as an effective policy that transcends ideologies because of its common sense.” A “Signed” badge appears on the right, and the bottom text says: “Sign & share your own — aipledgeforhumanity.org.

Responsible leaders must be honest with their societies. Russia is already waging a war against Europe by systematically targeting civilian environment - the systems that enable everyday life. These attacks take concrete forms:⤵️

Fascinating. The President has spent the previous stardates defining NATO as 'obsolete' and 'weak.' Now, he demands they mobilize for a conflict he initiated without their consultation. Logic suggests that if a partner is truly 'pathetic,' one would not entrust them with the

Ever since Ukraine reduced intel sharing with the US they started doing better in the battlefield, funny how that works out. Ukraine decision also came after several acts of sabotage by the US.
This still needs to be investigated

Russia hitting the hotel filled with foreign volunteers immediately after Trump cut intelligence to Ukraine is probably not a coincidence.

These are scary times, and it’s okay to feel afraid. The challenge is learning how to respond instead of retreating. This piece offers insight into managing that fear and transforming it into courage, understanding, and tangible steps forward.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵
OBSERVED EFFECTS OF UBI

No significant reduction in labor supply (38 studies meta-analysis)

Increased self-employment (301%) and part-time employment (17%)

Slight decrease in alcohol and tobacco use (31 studies meta-analysis)

New mothers extend their maternity leaves

Birth weights improve due to better maternal nutrition

Graduation rates and educational outcomes improve

Hospitalization rates decline (8.5%)

Crime goes down (15%–42%) especially illegal hunting (95%)

Domestic violence decreases (30%–51%)

Trust increases (13% in politicians | 6% in other people)

Home ownership rates increase (17%–26%)

Food security increases as does consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables

Improved cognitive functioning (43%) and personality traits (31%)

Savings go up, debts go down

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.
