Schneider’s piece excellently discusses the swaths of techies who are joining the basic income movement and their reasons for doing so. A basic income has the sort of simplicity heralded in the tech world, and it could free people up to spend more time tinkering and creating venture capital. Further, Schneider highlights the differing political arguments, from libertarians to progressives to Marxists.
