It feels like I'm always posting something from a Rogan podcast and it's really because I find a lot of the guests so interesting no matter the subject matter. Just love hearing people unpack ideas instead of sound bites.
I had never heard of this Andrew Yang guy before and my introduction to him was the social media post promoting this podcast appearance, stating that he's a Dem Pres candidate for 2020 and that he'd be on to talk about Universal Basic Income.
I went in to this skeptical as all hell but came away impressed with his data driven approach. I really appreciate the way he's thinking about this technological wave we're experiencing and the very real dilemmas it will continue to bring.
An important aspect of this is to stop thinking of it as some problem down the road and to realize most American jobs fall in to industries that are more and more subject to automation. Admin/clerical, retail, transportation, manufacturing. It's more complicated than retraining and we should all agree it's not nearly as simple as learning to code. They use to trucking industry a lot bc he's spent a lot of time talking with truckers.
I challenge you to listen. I realize the easy thing to do is comment and dismiss the concept on its face but there is zero doubt a real discussion needs to be had and I think you will appreciate that he's getting it started in a thoughtful way.
