Day 286

I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to be honest with myself with regards to what i need to do in order immediately in my reality in order to take full responsibility in self honesty for my life.

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to abdicate my responsibility with regards to what i need to do immediately in self honesty in my reality and environment factoring and weighing in what is best in each one of my relationships disallowing excuses to inhibit me or stop me from doing so.

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to place blame on others in my life as an excuse to not take proper responsibility and do what needs to be dpne practically in self honesty as what is best for all life disregarding self interest as an isolated energy possession with the exceptions of where it makes sense to be able to get to what is best for all eventually in the short term and long term.

I forgive myself that i have not accepted and allowed myself to give myself the power, right, opportunity, ability, and potential necessary as a self foundation in order to fulfill my ultimate goal and starting as creating a world that is best for all as this starting point exists as the true foundation as who i am and who i will become.

Day 285 - Implications of A System of Broken Incentives

So one of the more interesting parts to this proposal of a guaranteed $1,000 a month in the form of cash payment from the govt for being over the age of 18 is how this will offset alot of the programs that are currently in place that millions of Americans already depend on for their livelihood. For example this cash payment could offset or even outpace most americans monthly payment they receive from social security disability. This has vast implications down to the very resonances of the human being as their self identification and self image through the words that they utter and attach themselves to as part of the totality of the words that define them and they will live moving forward. The self identification of 'disabled' is completely counterintuitive for achieving and accomplishing more in your life even if you are actually physically disabled and better yet achieving and accomplishing more despite that you are actually disavled. This not only is counterproductive from a structural resonance point of view where words are  acting as the total embodiment of ones reality wherein to attach oneself to words or self definitions that are inherently limiting on their own stands as a perpetual act of self defeat, but it is also counterproductive because the penalties that come about as a result of sort of stepping out of bounds of your limitation and the severely limiting self definition of being 'disabled' actually punishes you for striving for more which actually disincentivizes becoming more productive even if one is gradually or quickly able to as a change of events. This mode of disincentivization has vast implications and overarching effects on the minds bodies and souls of people and therefore the animals plants and the universe as a whole that is overall not good for each nor all involved. This mode of incentivization condones and rewards those that better portray their self designation as almost a form of art even in cases wherein more can be achieved or at least strived towards. This is also a matter of law in many ways wherein to look the part is essential to avoiding potential threats or questions as to the validity of ones disability as a matter of authenticity wherein to be caught doing so would be an act of fraud and a serious crime. So with this sort of dynamic in order for one to be 'authentic' in terms of fitting the picture portrayal of their condition, in many ways and in many cases they must over exxagerate their condition in order to avoid even the slightest doubt in the minds of their peers, family, and goverment employees that assess the authenticity of each case individually. This disincentivizes the basic human need to feel like they are striving for more and challenging themselves despite their limitations whether those limitations be real and involuntary, fake, or self imposed and actually incentivizes further counterproductive behaviors such as attempting to appear more disabled than one actually is in order to further secure their livelihood and sustenance by playing the part as best can be. This single paradigm is probably the most crucial and most important regarding the total relevance of implementing something such as a $1,000 a month income guarantee from the government compared to every other effect that such a policy would have not only for each invidual but for our macro society as well.

This is because our self definitions make up who we are and that resonance echoes throughout the universe and creates reality. To have an economic policy that is proactive in helping people reach their full potential, to always strive for more and the better of themselves and of those around them. With that approach it is practical to have the security blanket if one were to fail in any endeavor socthey will be able to pick themselves back up as a result of the structural resonance embodied with such unconditional support.

Day 284 Yangs Freedom Dividend - Responding to Critics

I think what us UBI and the new term coined by Andrew Yang as the Freedom Dividend supporters should be doing to counter the critics of implementing such a policy and/or the passivists regarding Yangs proposal in particular out of a sort of deep apathy for what Yangs proposal s upposedly represents at large in terms of the progressive social economic landscape, should be to delve deeper into the research and information regarding past experiments, expound upon ideological and theoritical bases for implementation from a macroeconomic point of view, and delve into the basis and or though processes and\or hidden agendas or motivations behind those that are critics to see if theyre points of view actually have any merit or not in actuality. This will strengthen our abilities to promote and support such a cause and better able to disseminate valid information regarding the questions that arise from skeptics as well those piqued from the curiousity of those that are inclined to think in ways that are to be considered socially conscientious. It is important to approach such critics with neutrality and an impartiality towards their opinion. Instead of taking their stance in consideration from an emotional perspective, instead be impartial and use their words and thoughts as catalysts to investigate their words or assertions practically to better understand where they are coming from, using that as a catalyst to either verify or invalidate their views from a practical standpoint as well as utilizing enlightened theoritics based on practical working knowledge of life to challenge and test the underlying theoritics of their arguments.

When you take their stance personally or villify their point of view by virtue of feeling disempowered as a result of their point of view and assume you now must 'argue with them' or 'deal with them' in an emotional way then you give power to their point of view without practically disseminating the proper response to their words and assertions. Taking this approach usually stems from a fear that the allowance of that person to disseminate their views openly in contradictions to what one is striving to accomplish as if their point of view acts like an infectious cyst if and when one sees the falsity of their arguments. And in many ways their point of view is , but to let that waiver your stength in disseminating the correct information that is in the interest of what is best for all would be to let that view take power over you.
