From there we get into some of the disinformation about the results of the Compton Guaranteed Basic Income Pilot. No it didn't lead to increased menthol cigarette smoking and soda drinking. From there we go into how the UK is looking to go hard on AI with no mention of UBI, and how the race for a new leader of the Liberal Party in Canada has uplifted Mark Carney who has been talking a lot about the negative impacts of AI and the need for strong social supports like UBI. We continue our discussion with more recent automation headlines and end with a fascinating new study that highlights how impactful UBI will be for health by reducing diseases of poverty like tuberculosis.-See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/scottsantens.com/post/3lckzcleo7s24See my ongoing compilation of UBI evidence on X: https://x.com/scottsantens/status/1766213155967955332For more info about UBI, please refer to my UBI FAQ: http://scottsantens.com/basic-income-faqDonate to the Income To Support All Foundation to support UBI projects:https://www.itsafoundation.orgSubscribe to the ITSA Newsletter for monthly UBI news:https://itsanewsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribeVisit Basic Income Today for daily UBI news:https://basicincometoday.comSign up for the Comingle waitlist for voluntary UBI:https://www.comingle.us-Follow Scott:https://linktr.ee/scottsantensFollow Conrad:https://bsky.app/profile/theubiguy.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/conradshaw/Follow Josh:https://bsky.app/profile/misterjworth.bsky.socialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joshworth/-Special thanks to: Gisele Huff, Haroon Mokhtarzada, Steven Grimm, Judith Bliss, Lowell Aronoff, Jessica Chew, Katie Moussouris, David Ruark, Tricia Garrett, Zack Sargent, A.W.R., Daryl Smith, Larry Cohen, Philip Rosedale, Liya Brook, Frederick Weber, John Steinberger, Bridget I Flynn, Laurel gillespie, Dylan Hirsch-Shell, Tom Cooper, Robert Collins, Joanna Zarach, Mgmguy, Daragh Ward, Albert Wenger, Andrew Yang, Peter T Knight, Michael Finney, David Ihnen, Miki Phagan, Albert Daniel Brockman, Natalie Foster, Joe Ballou, Arjun , Christopher Wroth, S, Jocelyn Hockings, Mark Donovan, Capitalists for Shared Income, Jason Clark, Chuck Cordes, Mark Broadgate, Leslie Kausch, Braden Ferrin , Juro Antal, Austin Begin, Deanna McHugh, Nikolaus Rath,, Laura Ashby, and all my other patrons for their support.If you'd like to see your name here in future video descriptions, you can do so by becoming a patron on Patreon at the UBI Producer level.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scottsantens/membership

Episode 4 of The Basic Income Show! Let's talk about the basic income that Dolly Parton mobilized in response to a disaster in Tennessee. We also debunk all the misinformation in an anti-UBI PragerU video. Summary: In this episode of the Basic Income Show, Scott Santens, Conrad Shaw, and Josh Worth discuss the current state of basic income initiatives, particularly in light of recent events such as Hurricane Helene.

In this conversation, we discuss the challenges faced by non-college educated individuals in achieving the American dream, the rising deaths of despair among this demographic, and the implications of educational polarization as we debunk an interview with Bret Weinstein. We explore the case for Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a solution to economic inequality and disillusionment with capitalism, emphasizing the importance of providing a safety floor for all individuals. The conversation also touches on the role of inheritance in perpetuating inequality and presents a meritocracy experiment that highlights the impact of luck versus talent in achieving success. Finally, we discuss the Pope's recent support for UBI, framing it as a moral imperative in the face of automation and economic challenges. ----- Want more UBI data?

Episode 2 of The Basic Income Show In this conversation, Scott Santens, Conrad Shaw, and Josh Worth discuss the implications of basic income through recent pilot programs like Sam Altman's three-year experiment and Denver's Basic Income Pilot Project, analyzing the results and addressing common misconceptions. They highlight the importance of understanding the nuanced effects of basic income on employment, caregiving, and overall well-being. Personal stories from recipients illustrate the transformative potential of basic income, while critiques of misleading narratives exemplified by a recent Coin Bureau video emphasize the need for a more informed public discourse. The conversation concludes with a call to action for future initiatives and community involvement in basic income projects.

As a leading expert on the topic of unconditional/universal basic income (UBI), a subject area I've been focused on now since 2013, I'm constantly trying to correct misunderstandings and debunk misinformation/disinformation spread about the concept and the evidence behind it. The results of another big test of basic income were released in July 2024 and there's a lot of poorly informed summaries and opinions out there about it. As someone who has actually read the results released so far (there's still more coming) as well as the results from over a hundred other studies of basic income and unconditional cash transfers in general, here is my distillation of the findings and the importance nuances of those findings in the context of the pilot itself, and in the larger context of other pilot results. Thank you for taking the time to watch this, giving it a like, and sharing it with others.

Much discussion has been had around basic income as a policy response to automation and as a result, over 150 pilot experiments have been launched in cities across the US to study it. Now in response to the successful results beginning to come out from those pilots, some states are beginning to ban the experiments from happening. One lobbying group in particular is behind these efforts to stop UBI, and its biggest funder is a billionaire most people have never even heard of.

What is real? I'm reminded of that question in a favorite children's book, The Velveteen Rabbit. That story tells that being “real” is about being loved, well-worn, and so authentically connected that being messy is more than just okay, it's guaranteed. So what of today's world? What of this time when Artificial Intelligence is the hottest topic of discussion? In a Twitter chat with my friend Philip Rosedale he posited that it's about people becoming “comfortable” speaking and being as avatars. Philip knows about such things, being the fellow behind Linden Labs' Second Life - truly the first major step into virtual worlds as viable economies and places. Made me think. With how deeply curated most online presences are, isn't that already kind of the case? An “artificial” representation of self? Before you think that I'm launching into hating on technology - pump the brakes. Because it's clear it's not about a yes or no about technology - it's about responsibility in using it. To go there, we have some of the greatest assets to remind us. One of my favorite voices in personal development these days is Mel Robbins and on her inspiration this episode came to life. What does leadership actually mean in today's world? Good question. That's what Cathy Brooks thought. And it's why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of radically honest conversation about ... well ... everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, this weekly podcast invites curiosity. Curiosity about not what people do, but why they do it. It's about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not.

Philip Rosedale, creator of Second Life, joins Patrick Cozzi (Cesium) and Marc Petit (Epic Games) to discuss the evolution of metaverse technology and philosophy over the last several decades.
Philip Rosedale is the founder of Linden Lab, which launched the popular virtual world Second Life in 2003. His goal has always been to build a viable model for a virtual economy or virtual society, not just an entertainment platform. Before Second Life he served as CTO at RealNetworks, where he wrote some of the earliest algorithms to compress video for transmission across the internet. In 2013 he founded High Fidelity, which builds a spatial audio for group chat. He is currently involved with both Second Life and High Fidelity, and advises on Metaverse efforts.
In the early 2000s, the Metaverse blossomed into the foundation for a new generation of video games such as 'Ultima Online', and big data 'digital twins' like Google Earth. It's "Game On!" for Tony and Mark - and on and on and on and on...

In the second half of the 1990s, VRML became the platform of choice for 'virtual worlds' filled with 'avatars' - digital representations of real people. The Web goes big - and stays big - yet VRML crashes back to Earth, as Second Life becomes the last best hope for the Metaverse.

Discover lessons learned from the founder of the first true metaverse, Philip Rosedale, with Second Life.
In this episode of 92NY Talks we ask the question, Do We Need A Constitution for the Metaverse? The Metaverse is a brave, new virtual frontier that will play an increasingly important role in our lives. But what rights will we have as individuals and communities in a world likely to be built by corporations? Even if the Metaverse is years away, critical decisions are being made now about how the future is being built. If we want to make sure we all have a voice, should we start thinking about a Constitution for the Metaverse? Join Philip Rosedale, web pioneer and creator of virtual world Second Life, Dave Waslen, Co-Founder of Metaverse platform Wilder World, and Gayatri Khandhadai, Digital and Human Rights and Policy Expert, in conversation with Brittan Heller, Senior Fellow at The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, for an in-depth discussion on safeguarding global democracy in this emerging digital environment. Introductory remarks by Jamie Metzl, Founder and Chair, OneShared.World. The conversation was streamed live as part of the The 92nd Street Y, New York online talks series on September 15, 2022.
Founder of Second Life Philip Rosedale shares his thoughts on what virtual worlds can teach us about being human, the relationship between Second Life users and their avatars, and the challenges of building the metaverse using Web 3.0 technologies. Philip Rosedale is the Founder of Linden Lab, parent company of Second Life, an open-ended, Internet-connected virtual world and pioneering metaverse. Following Second Life, he worked on several projects related to distributed work and computing. Excited by innovations in these areas and the proliferation of new VR-enabling devices, he re-entered the virtual worlds space in 2013, co-founding High Fidelity, a company devoted to exploring the future of next-generation shared virtual reality. Philip rejoined Second Life in 2022, as Strategic Advisor, focused on helping to shape and build a better metaverse.

Second Life was one of the first examples of a proto-metaverse gaming platform, a persistent, shared, virtual world where individuals could socialize, play and learn together. We were delighted to have a wide-reaching conversation with Philip Rosedale, the the founder and creator of Second Life, where we dive into Second Life's renaissance in the last few years, the push of large technology companies into the metaverse and what that means for its development, the prospects for more live entertainment to move into metaverse platforms and empowering creators with more real-time 3D development tools.
Founder of Second Life and High Fidelity Labs Philip Rosedale discusses the misguided efforts fueling Web3 and helps us retrieve the original mission for immersive social platforms.
For decades, a virtual reality version of the internet has been a staple of science fiction. The metaverse is the latest iteration and it has the potential to become something more than a new gaming platform. But years before Facebook changed its name to Meta and launched huge investments into the space, Philip Rosedale was experiment ing with many of these same ideas in the virtual world he helped create: Second Life. In a conversation with Wall Street Journal reporter Christopher Mims during the WSJ Future of Everything Festival, Rosedale shared his vision for a metaverse where data privacy is more important than advertising, and our online and offline lives intersect in a healthier way.

This is a re-released episode from Series 1 with Second Life founder and High Fidelity co-founder Philip Rosedale.As a child, Philip Rosedale dreamed of creating a fully-fledged virtual society and that's exactly what he did with Second Life. Despite it being conceived many years before, Second Life was launched in 2003. Almost two decades later, and with one million active users and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of transactions, Second Life experienced a boom during the Covid-19 pandemic as the world went into lockdown and more of us spent more time online.In this wonderfully wide-ranging conversation, Philip opens up about his early influences, his ability to see into the future and how he executes when the tech, not always the world, is ready.He also tells me about his latest company – High Fidelity which specialises in spatial audio - and where he envisions the field going, as well as the future of virtual reality, education, crypto, live music, how tech can and should be harnessed for good, and how closely he believes the link is between virtual reality and reality.NB This interview was recorded February 2021. Mentioned in this episode:Oxford Uni panel talk with Elon Musk and Baroness Susan Greenfield: https://podcasts.ox.ac.uk/series/silicon-valley-comes-oxfordPhilip's Writing/blog: https://www.highfidelity.com/blog/author/philip-rosedale NB At 52:13, I asked Philip, “What do you wish your legacy to be? The words which are inaudible at 52:32 are “be together” so his answer was, “It's what I am continuing to work on. I'd like to continue to use technology to build these places which allow people to be together.” Let me know what you think of this episode and please rate, review and share - it means the world to me and helps others to find it too.Danielle on Twitter @daniellenewnham and Instagram: @daniellenewnhamPhilip on Twitter: @philiprosedaleHigh Fidelity https://www.highfidelity.com/Second Life https://secondlife.com/This episode was hosted by me - Danielle Newnham, a recovering founder, author and writer who has been interviewing tech founders and innovators for ten years - and produced by Jolin Cheng.

Long before the concepts of the Metaverse and cryptocurrency became widely understood, Second Life was already a thriving virtual metropolis running off its own monetary system. In today's episode, we have the pleasure of hearing from its inventor, Philip Rosedale, about how technology has evolved since he founded Second Life, and how he hopes it is going to continue to evolve in the future. Angie Dalton also joins in on the conversation to share her perspective on what is going on in the virtual world. Our conversation covers everything from avatars to the uncanny valley to the potential of the Metaverse to eliminate loneliness, so don't miss this one! “Second Life was this experiment to build one single, large, virtual world that everybody was in together and that had land and would allow people to build things together in any way they wanted to.” — @philiprosedale Key Points from this Episode Philip's two main interests that catalyzed the founding of Second Life. Technological changes that took place in the late '90's, which were the final push that Philip needed to found Second Life in 1999. What the early years of founding Second Life looked like. The goal of Second Life, and what makes it unique. Philip shares some statistics which give an indication of the size of Second Life today. Characteristics built into the Second Life currency that allowed it to work as well as it has. Reasons that Second Life didn't run into many regulatory issues when they were starting out. Angie's thoughts on how to democratize crypto inside games. Facets of the Metaverse that Philip is particularly interested in seeing the evolution of. The problem that Philip and his team at High Fidelity have developed technology to solve. What Philip believes one of the main goals of technological advancements should be. A sad truth about our online connections. Some of the pros and cons of trustless economies. Why allowing for the ability to trade virtually is essential to the success of the Metaverse. The next step that is required to take the Metaverse to the next level. Philip explains the concept of the ‘uncanny valley'. Changes that Philip expects to see in virtual worlds in the next 5 years. What Angie is most excited about in the virtual reality space.

This week my guest is Philip Rosedale, who is well known as the founding creator of Second Life and his subsequent work with VR and spatial audio company, High Fidelity. We were extremely lucky to catch Philip the day after the major announcement of his return to Second Life as an advisor after nearly a decade away from the company. This set the foundation for our conversation, which then took an incredible journey through myriad topics including the pros and cons of virtual reality, decentralization, cryptocurrency and digital assets. We also get into issues around the attention economy, data privacy, advertising revenue models, and wealth disparity in both the physical and digital worlds. * Host: Steven Parton - LinkedIn / Twitter Music by: Amine el Filali

Skippy and Doogles discuss a recent Invest Like the Best podcast interview with Philip Rosedale and Bill Gurley about Second Life and the metaverse. Doogles officially names 'Fragility' as his word of 2021 (look out Merriam-Webster), and he's excited for what this might mean for 2022. Skippy comments on how inflation continues to impact wages, with companies setting aside almost 4% for payroll increases next year. The active vs passive investing debate continues, now fueled by Peter Lynch's recent comments about how he thinks the move to passive is a mistake. The episode wraps with misleading claims that Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi, has officially been unmasked, and a lesson for everyone to be less of a jerk than the CEO of Better.com.

In the second of our “OG edition” episodes, “Money Reimagined” hosts Sheila Warren and Michael Casey sit down with legendary investor, startup mentor, prodigious networker, kite surfer and passionate conservationist Bill Tai. This episode is sponsored by Quantstamp and Insider Protocol. And as an added bonus, he is joined by Danny Yang, the CEO and cofounder of NFTs-for-charity provider Nfinita, of which Tai is the chairman. According to its website, Nfinita is working to “make giving more sustainable and scalable through NFTs, and to enable any NFT to be charitable.” The episode is timed with the launch of OnChain Monkey, a10,000-part collection of monkey-themed NFTs. Uniquely, the collection was created in a single transaction, dramatically reducing the transaction costs that would have otherwise been incurred by any charity that was looking to issue such NFTs for fundraising purposes. In the episode, Tai and Yang explain how the project is looking to tap into the organizing power of communities of interest to drive the development of environmental and social impact projects. Danny also laid out Nfinita's thinking in a blog post released shortly before this episode. But to get this part of the story, the episode starts with Bill Tai's personal journey. It began in bitcoin way back in 2010, famously captured in a tweet in which asked whether anyone else was experimenting with bitcoin, which he described as a “P2P digital currency” with “fascinating potential.”But before that, as Tai recounts, it was his experience with the online game Second Life, founded by his friend Philip Rosedale, that led him to discover bitcoin. Money, he explains, is a force that drives the formation of communities, which is why Second Life took off after it created the Linden dollar.From there it is a decade-long journey to a related idea and Tai's latest passion: NFTs as a motivator of value to bring like-minded people to form communities around causes they believe in. It is a natural extension of Tai's work as a conservationist, cultivated particularly in relation to the oceans, where he spends a great deal of his time kite surfing. The conversation also delves into Tai's enviable investment record, having been an early investor in massive success stories such as Zoom, Canva and BitFury, and his reputation as an uber-networker who has a knack for building relationships across ideas and communities. In a period in which angst and concern loom heavy in many places, it's a conservation that generates an infectious positivity and a hopeful view of how to solve the world's many problems.
