@michaeltrollan I don’t know but asking honestly.

[Ashlea @ashnomadik]

@michaeltrollan I wonder how this might correlate to with increasing economic inequality?

[Ashlea @ashnomadik]

@kmele @BretWeinstein @cvaldary @ericweinstein @CaitlinPacific @Ayishat_Akanbi Point taken.

Thanks for letting me vent.

@alexisohanian @IssaRae @Patreon Also a fan since YouTube. Her talent is and has always been undeniable.

Let that sink in.

I watched Midsommar and rewatched Mother and I have to admit it made me feel better.

The news is so disturbing and anxiety inducing so to relax my husband and I are watching The Shining

@kmele @BretWeinstein @cvaldary @ericweinstein @CaitlinPacific @Ayishat_Akanbi And I’d be willing to bet (a lot) that if people weren’t living a paycheck away from doom they’d be more open to any conversation.

@kmele @BretWeinstein @cvaldary @ericweinstein @CaitlinPacific @Ayishat_Akanbi Could be anecdotal, but save for the folks on twitter and college students, most folks aren’t staying awake at night thinking about cancel culture. Or cancel cancel culture.

[Ashlea @ashnomadik]

@iam_687 Agreed. Totally.

[Ashlea @ashnomadik]

Good news. Really good news

The movement to legalize psilocybin mushrooms is gaining steam https://t.co/ZmJJdMkCFL

@kmele Who hurt you? 😆

Lol, no let me consider what you said a bit longer and listen to the podcast.

So awesome to actually get to talk to you - it’s my sister’s birthday tomorrow so I need to go consume (shop)

[Ashlea @ashnomadik]

@kmele @BretWeinstein @cvaldary @ericweinstein @CaitlinPacific @Ayishat_Akanbi True - But it poverty will ruin us at a faster rate. And given that a pandemic has made it harder to pull ourselves up by our boot straps, I think it’s time public intellectuals start talking more about a vision, building, thriving and less about cancel culture.

[Ashlea @ashnomadik]

@kmele @BretWeinstein @cvaldary @ericweinstein @CaitlinPacific @Ayishat_Akanbi That’s dope. I hope you guys do a podcast together soon.

Please share thoughts from the conversation

@kmele @BretWeinstein @cvaldary @ericweinstein @CaitlinPacific @Ayishat_Akanbi Build wealth, so that committing fraud wouldn’t be nearly as rewarding.

[Ashlea @ashnomadik]

@kmele @BretWeinstein @cvaldary @ericweinstein @CaitlinPacific @Ayishat_Akanbi Correct, but I think only in the short term and certainly not enough to justify the societal waste that poverty causes.

In the long term though, I think that most people will see the network effects of UBI - families’ ability to pool resources - to buy homes, property...

[Ashlea @ashnomadik]

Instead of a ‘like’ button, what would happen it were a ‘thank you’ button?

How would that change the conversations on Twitter and Facebook, if at all?

Thoughts?

[Ashlea @ashnomadik]

@kmele @BretWeinstein @cvaldary @ericweinstein @CaitlinPacific @Ayishat_Akanbi I’d love to see all my favorite thought leaders tackling “how we best maximize human potential” and less “how we win the ideological debate” not because it’s not important, but rather because the latter is so very futile.

[Ashlea @ashnomadik]

@kmele @BretWeinstein @cvaldary @ericweinstein @CaitlinPacific @Ayishat_Akanbi I do agree that broad means tested entitlements would be (And has been) a social disaster.

The fact remains though that poverty is a waste of human potential and capital
