Thanks for the wonderful reactions everyone. And I'm sorry about the moments where I'm interrupting Andrew - I'm afraid it was the time lag between us (I'm based in The Netherlands), so couldn't help it! But I really really enjoyed this conversation. Andrew has been a huge inspiration to me for a long time now. A man of ideas and action.
Incredibly hopeful conversation. I’m in NZ... I’d love to see a conversation between yourself and Jacinda. Thank you for ‘synthesising’ so brilliantly, and sharing your ideas!
@@chrischandnoit2525 He is grooming the people to notice him next time. Andrew had the answers from the start of his campaign, but due to years of brainwashing the masses, most people couldn't see Yang's depth of understanding. Andrew is all about getting to the roots of the problems, but discerning the complex roots takes very high intuition and 75% of people have dominant sensing as their perception cognitive function, thus their intuition cognitive function will be weak. The masses will get if given enough time. Many early adopters of the Yang gang are highly intuitive people, so they see the depth of the roots of the problems. If the crime rate rises most people will assume more cops and prisons are in order, but that narrow perspective dose nothing to address the complex roots of the problems. Yang has such a deep understanding of the problems and human nature, that when he becomes President he will not only cause massive positive change in the US, but also affect the world. He is the most brilliant visionary I have ever seen. Yang's administration will be filled with the most competent and genuine people.
Something not addressed but is important... The people creating production (middle class workers) are busy everyday and no longer have the mental capacity, not time, to look up and understand the economic injustice in this country. The 'victims' if the welfare state (lower class) are held down by denomination of the masses and the indignation of means testing. They feel they have won if the get qualified for the next program. The wealthy (investor class) do not have to worry about paying the bills and see making more money off the back of existing money (returns) as more of a game than life. We all need a collective awakening be it through open conversation or forcing our next step in human evolution via focused introspection. Andrew Yang's presidential campaign started us down this path... It is up to us to continue forward.
T4Y, Check this out. Yang, You know you've been drafted by #darkhorseparty2020 to run w/ Adm. William McRaven right? People are serious about this. Are you in or out? #McRavenYang2020 #Yang/McRaven2020 #draftMcRavenYang2020 What say ye gang?
Tbh. It’s not particular a lack of cash, it’s more a lack of basic economic understanding. MMT has some good thoughts even so they are not digging deep enough in my opinion. If I would’ve to narrow it down to one cause, it’d be a simple mistake in double entry bookkeeping which is defined by the IFRS/ IASB. I think if we want to talk UBI and opportunity of chances, we can’t avoid talking about the method of bookkeeping; that’s were all monetary problems begin.
Reuben Thomasson Although Marx wrote a lot about money, he didn’t understand it where it matters. There is a German Prof of economics, his name is Bernd Senf, who developed Marx thoughts about money into nowadays economics and showed where he was right, wrong and most importantly: what Marx was missing like pretty much every other economic thinker. Besides that, who the heck uses a marxists framework nowadays ^^? Most economics/ people never read about Marx and quiet a lot even see in him their number one enemy. But even if everyone would know about Marx critics, I would stay with my thesis. Marx analysis is not up to date and missing quiet a lot, which still results in a lack of basic economic understanding and especially regarding money. MMT is getting pretty close but even they do not dig deep enough in my opinion.
@@RadicalNuance For the most part Rutger is right. He has a few holes in his game, but overall I can see why Yang had him on. He is a deep thinker. We should always be aware when something triggers us. Maybe you got triggered when he pointed out something negative about the US. I totally get it. It's a natural reaction, but we should never be delusional about constructive criticism. If we aren't willing to admit our shortcomings (personally or nationally), then we are hopeless to improve and move forwards.

I biked across the United States by myself.... I was 50 at the time and I am a female.... everyday, almost without exception, I was asked this question, “Aren’t you afraid to do this by yourself?” In the two and one half months on that trip I only met “good” people.... I strongly disagree with the idea that it is human nature to be selfish or to take advantage of others.... I think that the human race is still on the planet because MOST OF US care about each other and cooperate with each other ... cooperation NOT competition/hate/separation/exploitation....choose love all y’all... 🌀❤️🌀
I have had similar experiences, The challenge I see is that the vast majority are decent, vast majority, but the bad actors can do incredible damage and we have to be aware and take action on these few.
Hope... humanity survives until the Singularity in 2029. Ray Kurzweils' 2004 book "The Singularity is Near" will assure you of our inevitable future. It's so hopeful.

@@servantprince FYI: telling someone they're being childish and acting irresponsible is not being adult like. I'm sorry if that's how your parents talked to you.
It's crazy how much Andrew puts a calming effect on you when he speaks. In a world full of misguided news and topics, it's nice to get a breath of fresh air every once in a while.
Love the way Rutger Bregman thinks, Everyone is special and has such great potential but if we dont give them the opportunity to find that potential we all lose so much and how much we may never know until we change things so people can have those opportunity's, Someone starving in a third world country or some kid from here in america or anywhere could be the one to come up with an idea that makes our lives better forever and so much more.. Its inspiring to know im not the only one to think like that, every single life is precious and valuable beyond measure. Thank you so much Andrew for your campaign and everything you are doing now, You gave me real hope for the world for the first time in my life i actually started to believe that we can make these changes and better the lives of countless people.
thank you guys,I am 65 and I learnd about UBI 40 year ago,and it disappeard, now you gave me back hope in human kind. Andrew you are the first polititian in my lifetime that adresses the real problems in our society. therefor thank you for giving me hope again in the futur.
@al luvial while the title was misleading i appreciated the actual topics a lot more. Wether we are good or evil, we are both. Don't need a whole talk to know that one.
Great conversation! I liked this little nugget that Rutger tossed out: "I think that those at the top have often been afraid of the idea of freedom for everyone because they are worried that they won't be necessary anymore." As a side note, should we buy Andrew a mic stand? Heh!
I love these two people! After reading Rutger’s book “Utopia for Realists” I realized there are so many ways to make the America and world better if only these policies would be implemented.
Rutger Bregman and Andrew Yang: two intellectually inspiring humans. With due respect, I think Mr Bregman should allow for interaction and interruptions from Mr Yang, it will unearth more amazing contents from these legends.
I think it was mostly the time lag from Europe to New York and back. You could see on Rutgers face when he realized Andrew wanted to say something and the Rutger would finish his current sentence and then wait for Andrew.
Yes, we all have a role to play. Each group or individual has some perspective to offer, wrong or not it shines light onto one prism of reality or lens of truth, cloudy or not.
Yes, there is no absolut truth for beeings like us. Everyone carries his own universe, his own reality. The diversity of perspectives is powerfull. Its one of the most important traits we humans have.
Mr. Yang, I’m still voting for you for president. There’s a huge chunk of this country who feels the same. I’m asking you to please run as an independent
Yang, I know there’s still work for you. Yang-gang - don’t throw up your hands and give up. Yang’s ideas need continued support to move forward. This is irrespective of who is president.
This was a fantastic convo. I'm still stung over the fact that Rutger endorsed Bernie instead of Andrew. That one still baffles the shit out of me but here we are.
At 6:30 when he is talking about getting what you expect out of people reminds me of my childhood. My family members always told me what a good kid it was and it became part of my identity. I learned eventually that the best way to not get into trouble wasn't to have a backup plan or a lie ready, but to just avoid an action that could get me into trouble in the first place.
thank you,thank you both for being such an absolute joy...there is no BS here,..We are very fortunate indeed for you both to have found each other and there to share your wonderful minds and ideas..Bless you bothx
Incredible inspiring. An honesty and genuineness that’s contagious. A pleasure to see and hear these two modern thinkers interact like the Human Kind. we are.
This is one of those situations where one shouts "yes, Yes, YES", at the screen. For years I have had fragmented constructive thoughts in these directions, and just this little chat between two people I admire is so good. In just a few throwaway sentences they accurately disassemble today's hugely unequal society and produce real answers going forward.
Love you guys. Andrew, you were a great forward thinking candidate. You had the most practical and simple, yet revolutionary answer to the problems we face. Your analysis of where we are, how we got here and how to move forward was by far the best of any candidate. I hope you and others can move the basic income idea forward. Ruetger, thank you for making the future seem hopeful again. Your ideas need to become mainstream. Godspeed guys.
Excellent. A truly humane discussion supporting UBI. Thanks. Andrew Yang: Please reignite the YangGang. We're ready and eager, esp. these terrible days.
This is a convo of two free thinking minds. This is so good, so enlighten, I am intellectually humbled by these two men. Thanks to both Andrew and Rutger for proving a glimpse of hope for humanity. #Yang2024 #HumanityForward
Reading Rutger’s latest book now. Loved “Utopia for Realists”. In our hearts we know the truth. What did we all do during shut down? Ask our neighbors if they needed anything, made masks for free, and made sure our elders were safe. But it is true the cable news only focuses on the bad and is there for entertainment. I needed hope and a way to figure out how can we stop this divide in our country so we can understand each other and work together.
Glad Andrew is maintaining and building momentum of his movement with this podcast ❤️👍🏽 he needs to be in office. The world will be a better place. Wish he'd stop talking over his guest 😉❤️ Rutger is awesome, loved his first book, can't wait to read this.
It's not just that power is so corrupting it's that the system is selecting for corrupt people. Our system is not setup for the benefit of the people or the individual but rather has evolved into a system where powerful groups can influence legislation that benefits themselves and compounds. We need an incentive based system where people are given rewards for doing the right thing. With policing one idea I heard was grants for police units that follow certain standards or meet specific metrics of crime prevention and community wellness.
Oh man, I REALLY wish there was a way to make this philosophy digestible for the masses. Andrew, you have spent so much time trying to figure out a good way to get your message across (from naming UBI the Freedom Dividend, to figuring out that anecdotes are more convincing than data) even though your message is just. I dearly hope we see more of you in politics, because we definitely need to think harder in the US.
I love both Rutger and Andrew! this is the kind of leadership, the world needs! why can't good, intelligent, moral people like these guys lead world governments?!
Best argument against laziness being a part of our human nature: *What about children?* Children are dominantly motivated, full of life, and eager to explore. We're little bundles of energy in the beginning. As kids, we naturally want to play, explore, inquire, and imagine, yet as we grow old, something strips most of that out of us, to varying degrees of severity. We go from being fun, excited, big thinkers to uptight, apathetic, monotonous machines. Why? The environment: the systems of our lives. *Environment shapes behavior* and there's clearly a root causal problem that is allowing for such a disconnect to exist; this why we must look at the most dominant systems of influence on human behavior: *economics, religion, and cultural traditions.* Love this episode because it's progressing us in the right direction but, ultimately, I feel both #RutgerBregman and #AndrewYang don't fully understand the "big picture" problem.
very well said. i have two young kids and i see these things in them everyday. i just hope the system and their parents (ie me and my wife) don't end up destroying their natural inquisitiveness, creativity and joy by pushing them too hard.
@@slanteyedpoet I would never claim that I'm "better" than them in such a crudely sounding way, so I disagree with the way you've communicated that thought but, that aside, I'm doing my work and look forward to the day I get to be on their level and discuss these issues with brilliant minds like them. I encourage you and all others to also step up your game and work towards making a big impact in this world because, aside from this being your only life, the world desperately needs the right guidance.
@@LoveEsoteric I AM keeping close tab on whatever is going on, and matter-of-factly in the talks with Yang's right hand man about the feedback on his speaking with Mark Cuban. Could you repeat again, verbatim, what specific beef you had with what's missing during their exchange? I may be able to jam it in next time I talk with him. Thanks
@@slanteyedpoet I've been meaning to respond to you but haven't had the time until now. > Firstly, I want to point out that I never stated my specific "beef", so I can't "repeat again, verbatim"... The fact that you originally implied that I felt I was "much better than them both" and are now asking me to repeat something that was never originally said makes me wonder about the clarity of your thought. No offense, just an observation I feel worth considering. > That aside, my "beef" is with what I believe to be their shortsighted critique. They shared valuable information, of course, but they failed to address what I undoubtedly understand to be the problematic root causal mechanism for all human-related dysfunction: the Market economic system. The Market (aka trade-based human interaction) has been set into motion thousands of years ago and is an inherently flawed concept because it is inherently void of our familial nature and the mutual reciprocity that allows for the family unit to sustain itself in a healthy functioning manner. To top it off (in a bad way), the monetization of market interaction has allowed for an even further dysfunction of human interaction because it allows for an endless distortion of value to be attributed to resources and services, and even a value to be obtained in and of itself, which is just moronic. So, simply put, if this root causal mechanism is not being addressed within the scope of any discussion, I see it as shortsighted and, ultimately, futile. Brilliant minds have been tossing around ideas and taking action for many generations and many millennia, yet we see humanity still fumbling down the same socially and ecologically unsustainable path. Why is that? > So to be extra clear, I welcome and appreciate all people attempting to better our world but, after many years of study and contemplation, I understand what the root causal problem is (Monetary-Market Economics) and know that if it is not included in the scope of the discussion and addressed for what it is, the results that come from those discussions aren't going to achieve any lasting results. I'm here to see things as a doctor, who understands the need to address the superficial symptoms but knows the ultimate goal is to uncover and resolve the root problem. > Do understand, I would gladly go into far greater depths of detail to support my position and am willing to discuss this with anyone but will keep it as simple as it is for now. If you think what I've communicated is compelling enough to further the discussion, I look forward to a productive response. If not, best of luck to you and all others who aim to improve the world. Cheers!
I really hope this movement sticks and we manage to progress into it, bit by bit.. It's so much nicer to be hopeful and optimistic about the future rather than have this constant state of fear.
Finally! I always wanted to see these two talk. Yang is slowly regaining my trust now. I kind of lost trust in Yang when he went back on m4a. Bregman most certainly can talk some sense into Yang
When I saw Rutger's Ted Talk on youtube it wasn't the first time I'd heard of UBI but because he's young and not like "Guy Standing" it made it more real and up to date and then Andrew Yang was next on the list so watched that and thought "this guy has got gumption running his campaign on UBI.....wow" and now I just watch everything that Andrew does and it gives me hope that i could really help! Thank you Andrew!!!
I just smiled with optimism and joy and hope through this whole talk. I know a #UBI world is just around the corner. Thanks, guys. You both got to the real core - where human nature meets the system.
I wish this video had more views. These two are literally the two most modern and progressive thinkers of our time on social issues IMO. And they agree on the same principle ideas and solutions. Hope they’ll be successful in paving the way for society.
Excellent interview. You get some of the best guests on the specific show topic on the show.👍. I hope you get Yuval Hariri the best guest for data and A.I. on the show.
I always interpreted Lord of the Flies as saying that those children descend into such barbarism so easily not despite having elite boarding school education, but because of it. They were not a representative sample of humanity. They were the children of the most rich and powerful people in the British Empire, a brutal empire, and they were deprived of a normal family life where they could model the behavior of parents and relatives that love each other and instead placed in a rigid hierarchy designed to produce more of the sort of people who can effectively administer an empire to exploit native peoples in countries all over the world. Boarding schools at the time used harsh physical punishments to ensure submission to arbitrary authority figures, including older students as well as teachers and administrators. Such environments tend to have harsh hazing rituals, including sexual abuse of minors by older kids who had been similarly traumatized in the past.
Thanks for the wonderful reactions everyone. And I'm sorry about the moments where I'm interrupting Andrew - I'm afraid it was the time lag between us (I'm based in The Netherlands), so couldn't help it!

@@Betty9971 Try the online library. you sign up with your library card number. In my city it's called Overdrive.com.
Angela Siegfried Thanks for the info! I actually requested the book from my library and just picked up Utopia.
Bergman’s new book Humankind: A Hopeful History is FANTASTIC. Instant mandatory reading!
can you share a snippet - what you found fascinating?
My favourite thing about this talk is how often they use the phrase ‘I agree’
You are my heroes!!!!! Thanks for all you do Yang and Rutger !!!
What a great conversation!!!!!
Just subbed to the channel. Glad that Andrew invited Mr. Bregman here for his insights on the current state of affairs.
I wish everyone would watch this with an open mind because it's all so true
An open mind wouldn't jump to conclusion that fast
Two intelligent and nice guys are talking, we listen and appreciate.
"We've seen further than others because we've stood on a mountain of dwarfs " - Humankind
If I could like this quote 20 times over, I would!
This talk is just incredible. One of my favorites so far.
A fan from Indonesia! 🇮🇩
You both are my idols! Great talks guys! 👍
Wow I am definitely going to check out Bregman's book!
This was a fantastic convo. I'm still stung over the fact that Rutger endorsed Bernie instead of Andrew. That one still baffles the shit out of me but here we are.
At 6:30 when he is talking about getting what you expect out of people reminds me of my childhood. My family members always told me what a good kid it was and it became part of my identity. I learned eventually that the best way to not get into trouble wasn't to have a backup plan or a lie ready, but to just avoid an action that could get me into trouble in the first place.
Love these conversations please keep them coming Yang
thank you,thank you both for being such an absolute joy...there is no BS here,..We are very fortunate indeed for you both to have found each other and there to share your wonderful minds and ideas..Bless you bothx
Amazing and enriching conversation.
OMG!!!! I'm so excited about Rutger Bergman on!!
This has been one if my favourite pods on this channel. Would love to hear more of UBI dissected. When is the Scott Santens interview?
Incredible inspiring. An honesty and genuineness that’s contagious. A pleasure to see and hear these two modern thinkers interact like the Human Kind. we are.
Two great humans working on solving some big problems. “Human vs inhuman” is a such a great lens to look through.
This is one of those situations where one shouts "yes, Yes, YES", at the screen. For years I have had fragmented constructive thoughts in these directions, and just this little chat between two people I admire is so good. In just a few throwaway sentences they accurately disassemble today's hugely unequal society and produce real answers going forward.
Love you guys.
Andrew, you were a great forward thinking candidate. You had the most practical and simple, yet revolutionary answer to the problems we face. Your analysis of where we are, how we got here and how to move forward was by far the best of any candidate. I hope you and others can move the basic income idea forward.
Ruetger, thank you for making the future seem hopeful again. Your ideas need to become mainstream. Godspeed guys.
I enjoyed this conversation a lot.
Working towards points on the possibility distribution of futures that could be.
I'm enjoying these podcasts so much.Good job ANDREW.
I'm really glad Andrew finally got a microphone! 🤣🎙️🙌
This is such an intelligent conversation between two super compassionate people
Great show! One of my favorite guests to date.
Excellent. A truly humane discussion supporting UBI. Thanks.
Andrew Yang: Please reignite the YangGang. We're ready and eager, esp. these terrible days.
This is a convo of two free thinking minds. This is so good, so enlighten, I am intellectually humbled by these two men. Thanks to both Andrew and Rutger for proving a glimpse of hope for humanity.

brillant ideas , I really enjoyed this discussion
great interview, they compensate each other very well
Reading Rutger’s latest book now. Loved “Utopia for Realists”. In our hearts we know the truth. What did we all do during shut down? Ask our neighbors if they needed anything, made masks for free, and made sure our elders were safe. But it is true the cable news only focuses on the bad and is there for entertainment. I needed hope and a way to figure out how can we stop this divide in our country so we can understand each other and work together.
Glad Andrew is maintaining and building momentum of his movement with this podcast ❤️👍🏽 he needs to be in office. The world will be a better place.
Wish he'd stop talking over his guest 😉❤️ Rutger is awesome, loved his first book, can't wait to read this.
My favorite so far!
Mr.Yang I live in Romania and I would like to tell you that If I lived in the US I would be voting for you.
WE all do need to have the Universal Dividends for sure..
Two of my favourite thinkers ever
Hahaha I was just going to comment on another video to ask that you have this brilliant man on. Awesome.
Love this! Thank you!! More please.
very nyce,good work!!
Recently read books of both these guys!
It's not just that power is so corrupting it's that the system is selecting for corrupt people. Our system is not setup for the benefit of the people or the individual but rather has evolved into a system where powerful groups can influence legislation that benefits themselves and compounds. We need an incentive based system where people are given rewards for doing the right thing. With policing one idea I heard was grants for police units that follow certain standards or meet specific metrics of crime prevention and community wellness.
Thank you for this!
Oh man, I REALLY wish there was a way to make this philosophy digestible for the masses.
Andrew, you have spent so much time trying to figure out a good way to get your message across (from naming UBI the Freedom Dividend, to figuring out that anecdotes are more convincing than data) even though your message is just. I dearly hope we see more of you in politics, because we definitely need to think harder in the US.
I would like to see Andrew describe how to pay for Freedom Dividend, perhaps using Participatory Budgeting.
I love both Rutger and Andrew! this is the kind of leadership, the world needs! why can't good, intelligent, moral people like these guys lead world governments?!
Fantastic! The brilliant Rutger Bregman!
Best argument against laziness being a part of our human nature: *What about children?*
Children are dominantly motivated, full of life, and eager to explore. We're little bundles of energy in the beginning. As kids, we naturally want to play, explore, inquire, and imagine, yet as we grow old, something strips most of that out of us, to varying degrees of severity. We go from being fun, excited, big thinkers to uptight, apathetic, monotonous machines. Why? The environment: the systems of our lives. *Environment shapes behavior* and there's clearly a root causal problem that is allowing for such a disconnect to exist; this why we must look at the most dominant systems of influence on human behavior: *economics, religion, and cultural traditions.*
Love this episode because it's progressing us in the right direction but, ultimately, I feel both #RutgerBregman and #AndrewYang don't fully understand the "big picture" problem.
very well said. i have two young kids and i see these things in them everyday. i just hope the system and their parents (ie me and my wife) don't end up destroying their natural inquisitiveness, creativity and joy by pushing them too hard.
THEN it's time for you, Moses, to walk up and take up the challenge if you feel you are much better than them both....
@@slanteyedpoet I would never claim that I'm "better" than them in such a crudely sounding way, so I disagree with the way you've communicated that thought but, that aside, I'm doing my work and look forward to the day I get to be on their level and discuss these issues with brilliant minds like them. I encourage you and all others to also step up your game and work towards making a big impact in this world because, aside from this being your only life, the world desperately needs the right guidance.
@@LoveEsoteric I AM keeping close tab on whatever is going on, and matter-of-factly in the talks with Yang's right hand man about the feedback on his speaking with Mark Cuban. Could you repeat again, verbatim, what specific beef you had with what's missing during their exchange? I may be able to jam it in next time I talk with him. Thanks
@@slanteyedpoet I've been meaning to respond to you but haven't had the time until now.
>
Firstly, I want to point out that I never stated my specific "beef", so I can't "repeat again, verbatim"... The fact that you originally implied that I felt I was "much better than them both" and are now asking me to repeat something that was never originally said makes me wonder about the clarity of your thought. No offense, just an observation I feel worth considering.
>
That aside, my "beef" is with what I believe to be their shortsighted critique. They shared valuable information, of course, but they failed to address what I undoubtedly understand to be the problematic root causal mechanism for all human-related dysfunction: the Market economic system. The Market (aka trade-based human interaction) has been set into motion thousands of years ago and is an inherently flawed concept because it is inherently void of our familial nature and the mutual reciprocity that allows for the family unit to sustain itself in a healthy functioning manner. To top it off (in a bad way), the monetization of market interaction has allowed for an even further dysfunction of human interaction because it allows for an endless distortion of value to be attributed to resources and services, and even a value to be obtained in and of itself, which is just moronic. So, simply put, if this root causal mechanism is not being addressed within the scope of any discussion, I see it as shortsighted and, ultimately, futile. Brilliant minds have been tossing around ideas and taking action for many generations and many millennia, yet we see humanity still fumbling down the same socially and ecologically unsustainable path. Why is that?
>
So to be extra clear, I welcome and appreciate all people attempting to better our world but, after many years of study and contemplation, I understand what the root causal problem is (Monetary-Market Economics) and know that if it is not included in the scope of the discussion and addressed for what it is, the results that come from those discussions aren't going to achieve any lasting results. I'm here to see things as a doctor, who understands the need to address the superficial symptoms but knows the ultimate goal is to uncover and resolve the root problem.
>
Do understand, I would gladly go into far greater depths of detail to support my position and am willing to discuss this with anyone but will keep it as simple as it is for now. If you think what I've communicated is compelling enough to further the discussion, I look forward to a productive response. If not, best of luck to you and all others who aim to improve the world. Cheers!
Never stop spreading your words! Society needs to evolve
Great podcast! Thanks gentlemen
This is such a good episode of such a good podcast.
I really hope this movement sticks and we manage to progress into it, bit by bit.. It's so much nicer to be hopeful and optimistic about the future rather than have this constant state of fear.
Finally! I always wanted to see these two talk. Yang is slowly regaining my trust now. I kind of lost trust in Yang when he went back on m4a. Bregman most certainly can talk some sense into Yang
When I saw Rutger's Ted Talk on youtube it wasn't the first time I'd heard of UBI but because he's young and not like "Guy Standing" it made it more real and up to date and then Andrew Yang was next on the list so watched that and thought "this guy has got gumption running his campaign on UBI.....wow" and now I just watch everything that Andrew does and it gives me hope that i could really help! Thank you Andrew!!!
+1 for much needed universalist and humanist thought in this time of devisive rethoric.
I just smiled with optimism and joy and hope through this whole talk. I know a #UBI world is just around the corner. Thanks, guys. You both got to the real core - where human nature meets the system.
Theres a moment in "scenes from the suburbs" the short film by arcade fire touches on this point perfectly
Rutger Bergman's Ted talk is what lead me Andrew Yang.
This is great! Thought provoking, and I got that micro grant from Humanity Forward today! Thank you Andrew!
I wish this video had more views. These two are literally the two most modern and progressive thinkers of our time on social issues IMO. And they agree on the same principle ideas and solutions. Hope they’ll be successful in paving the way for society.
Excellent interview. You get some of the best guests on the specific show topic on the show.👍. I hope you get Yuval Hariri the best guest for data and A.I. on the show.
Then you might be interested in this clip.

this is great stuff.
Scarcity is Artificial; YANG SPEAKS IS Counting on You.
For discussions about UBI, Professor Guy Standing, from England, would also be an excellent guest.
I always interpreted Lord of the Flies as saying that those children descend into such barbarism so easily not despite having elite boarding school education, but because of it. They were not a representative sample of humanity. They were the children of the most rich and powerful people in the British Empire, a brutal empire, and they were deprived of a normal family life where they could model the behavior of parents and relatives that love each other and instead placed in a rigid hierarchy designed to produce more of the sort of people who can effectively administer an empire to exploit native peoples in countries all over the world. Boarding schools at the time used harsh physical punishments to ensure submission to arbitrary authority figures, including older students as well as teachers and administrators. Such environments tend to have harsh hazing rituals, including sexual abuse of minors by older kids who had been similarly traumatized in the past.
Thanks! Didn't think of it this way.
They also represented a true story very poorly. It's an unreliable example, at best.
Thank you for putting this is context.
JRE podcast Bret Weinstein suggest Yang/McRaven 2020. We need leadership!
I saw that!!! It gave me the chills!!
Fantastic talk.
