Meh, if I had a billion or two, I’d keep at least one billion, just to be safer from the other billionaires. That way, I have war money I guess.
I’d spend most of my money just on medical checkups, therapists, coaches, I would pay a maid, get into some elite fitness program, go to an university, and whatever time is left, I’d go around helping directly. I’d strategically target entire areas to try and convince people to go solar, permaculture, etc. I don’t see anything better to do with my life.
I would probably actually try an experiment with building a city out in the sea, the thing Peter Thiel claims he wants, but actually do it, in order to do a social experiment to see what happens when people have something like UBI, free healthcare, education, etc. They idea would be that hopefully, investing in people in this way would pay itself back.
I still find a better ethos for everybody to redistribute all, you and the other billionares you want to be safe of (and that the rest of us would not while you would be). Try out experiments out of curiosity not only can even damage collaterally others, it may even be flawed by design and serve no real purpose, or at least not efficiently… regardless of your good faith, control all the details of a huge amount of resources by one person is impossible, and if delegate in usage, chances of bad actors and oportunists be attracted to will still create havoc at a big scale… and if you just block those resources and not use them fear of lack of control, then is a terrible waste to begin with… I still stick to redistribution
I would initially do the experimental city as an Eve Online styled MMO - but with multiple servers, each with a specific type of government and economic rule. After a couple years of letting each server’s population fill up and learn their niche, create a ‘hub’ server, where players of the OG servers can start with a territory and compete. Doing it this way, it would make it easier to remove outside factors like geography, pre-existing wealth, unfamiliarity with UBI, and so forth.
The way I figure, it would be easier to track success and population metrics with a wholly artificial reality, then use the insights from that to inform how to structure a realworld UBI Island.
