Shownotes
Ron Lynch moved $6 billion in consumer sales, made four films, and called Spielberg from a grocery store basement at 23. He says UBI doesn't hand out income — it hands out outcome, and outcome without effort is a cage. Alaska's $1,700 annual checks prove nothing; the realistic number is $30K, and at that level you buy complacency — and when a neighbor dies, their check redistributes. Plantations ran on UBI. The surveillance stack to enforce it — Palantir, IDEMIA, Allied Universal — is already built and waiting. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley pull every thread for an hour.
