I'm a great believer in your project. I think a world-wide basic income that is independent of any government is essential.

A basic income allows people to say "no" to dead-end jobs. A world wide basic income that runs off of an investment fund that invests in the very businesses that hope to ensnare people into those dead end jobs, is an epic irony.

Very wealthy people use investments as a source of basic income, in the form of interest, dividends and rents. There is no reason why that same mechanism cannot be spread around the world. Well, there is. It's a public policy decision.

Running a system of basic income independent of government allows the people to avoid the hidden hand of big money in politics. An independent basic income system can also distribute the gains in productivity from technology to a much larger audience, the people who are displaced by technology.

That is what I see in Manna.
