This episode of the Lithuanian Free Market Institute (LFMI) podcast focuses on an essay by famous author Yuval Noah Harari, in which he claims that in a world run by robots and AI people will no longer work and that video games could give them a sense of meaning.
The discussion extends to Universal Basic Income (UBI), which is often praised for its immediate financial support, but true human fulfillment comes from building strong relationships and actively engaging in community life. While some see UBI as a solution to economic inequality and the various drawbacks attributed to capitalism, others view it as an existential threat to human freedom.
In this episode, Clay Routledge, PhD, Vice President of Research and Director of the Human Flourishing Lab at the Archbridge Institute, and Augminas Petronis, an associate expert at the Lithuanian Free Market Institute, go beyond the usual clichés to discuss various questions related to UBI and its possible psychological impact. This is the second episode.
