An idea worth spreading
Basic income guarantee – I think that in last few centuries (and especially last couple of decades) we as a mankind have made living so much easier for regular people. It is, of course, nearly all due to science. We've automated so many processes, we've regulated a lot of diseases (though some new have come to the surface – but, we're working on that too), we've... I guess you can think of a lot of other things yourself. We don't need everyone to work anymore. Looking at modern capitalism (especially in the USA), I think it doesn't really work. Rich become richer, poor poorer – it's time for a change. I think now is the time we should start to think about basic income guarantee, which would allow every person – working or not – to live a normal life. This may sound like utopia, but I think it could work. I believe a lot of people don't work only for money, but for the feeling of contributing to the society.
The TED story
I started to watch TED talks in 2008 when I was 14 years old and since then I watch them every day.
