Thanks for the thoughtful replyâI think that I should have specified âshareholder-corporate-governance-structure for-profitâ rather than just âfor-profitâ đ and once we get to that level of granularity, maybe it is plausible that alternatives havenât abounded simply because of a lack of imagination!
Newmanâs is indeed a nice counter-example.
And FWIW, I am a coworker of Jasperâs at Global Income Coin, and weâre trying to do something exactly like what you propose but with currency...so I really hope itâs viable!!
Regarding the burden of proof⌠I would think that such a burden is a function of the purpose that it serves. In the criminal justice system, we require a very high burden of proof, âbeyond a reasonable doubtâ, because of the enormous cost of a false positive: depriving an innocent person of life and/âor liberty. In the civil context, a mere preponderance (greater than 50%) as if it is more likely than not that one has violated anotherâs rights and harmed them, they should be compensated commensurately, even though there may still be a significant chance that we are wrong.
Regarding the burden of proof here, in considering whether and to what degree one should support a project, one should consider the probability associated with different outcomes and the utility associated with said outcomes. This is why even if you are very skeptical of Guided Consumption, supporting it, especially at early stages, is justified.
I am interested in learning more about GIC and will very soon be taking a look at the project. I love the idea of global UBI and very much want to work toward a world in which everyone has a chance toward living a life of dignity and having a chance at his or her dreams. Perhaps there are some opportunities for collaboration here!
