As an example of the type of research being done, you must be willing to build something that will be considered commodity in 15 years time at today's price.

You won't get there with basic income.

Basic Income can be a great stepping block to cultural improvements which include things like tech. It is true that some things need allocation of resources which Basic Income doesn’t directly address, but a society with Basic Income might be more reliably capable of getting it done.

I agree with basic income for everyone.

Just don't agree it is enough to innovate at Xerox PARC scale, as what is being discussed is funding, not salaries.
