I just read Sapolsky's book Determined and it kind of blew my mind. There's a biological argument for unconditional basic income to be made based on how our decisions depend on factors beyond our control. If free will is an illusion, then we should make sure to end poverty and reduce chronic stress.

Great article and while I was interested in the basic income side, and agreed with the end as I said in my quote post it also made me think of the ("Where to Invade Next") Norway incarceration system vs the North American systems or my recent reading of Gabor Mate on the subject of addiction.

I actually had a section I ended up deleting about Norway's criminal justice system with Brevik as an example, because that was in the book too. But I was trying to shrink it down a bit and also felt that it may just be too much for people.
