Anyone can have an opinion. Only a few people can win a debate. In this show I walk through the process of transforming my opinions into actual arguments. Every week I find a contentious issue, then I try to develop the strongest possible argument for both sides and compare them. In the end, I reach my own position that I’m willing to defend. Even if you don’t agree you walk away with a stronger understanding of the issue and hopefully you are on track to create your own arguments.

<p><strong>For my first episode of “The Argument Forge” I wanted to discuss Andrew Yang’s Universal Basic Income plan. UBI is such an interesting policy because it is something that would have a huge impact on every aspect of our society but at the same time it is something that is really easy to understand (anyone can understand getting $1000 money)</strong></p> <p><strong>Even if you’re someone that thinks the idea is nonsense, I think the conversation about a policy like this helps us start to think about changing the policy goals in our society.</strong></p> <p><strong>Sources:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://2020.yang2020.com/what-is-freedom-dividend-faq/"><u><strong>https://2020.yang2020.com/what-is-freedom-dividend-faq/</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.thebalance.com/universal-basic-income-4160668#disadvantages-explained"><u><strong>https://www.thebalance.com/universal-basic-income-4160668#disadvantages-explained</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfDpS5w3wUw"><u><strong>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfDpS5w3wUw</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/9/20/16256240/mexico-cash-transfer-inflation-basic-income"><u><strong>https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/9/20/16256240/mexico-cash-transfer-inflation-basic-income</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/12/universal-basic-income-inequality-work"><u><strong>https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/12/universal-basic-income-inequality-work</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/why-universal-basic-income-terrible-idea-8984.html"><u><strong>https://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/why-universal-basic-income-terrible-idea-8984.html</strong></u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/9/5/20849020/alaska-permanent-fund-universal-basic-income"><u><strong>https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/9/5/20849020/alaska-permanent-fund-universal-basic-income</strong></u></a></p>
