Summary: Welcome back to ACLR where we're tackling an issue that will become increasingly important in the age of AI: Purpose & relevance.<br> Is it enough to feel that we matter? How do we preserve what makes us feel that we matter? If Prozac can make us happy, why can't a pill (or a implanted chip) make us feel economically relevant...even when we aren't?<br> What's basic and what's universal about Universal Basic Needs? What's basic and what's universal about Universal Basic Income (UBI)? Should we talk about Basic Universal Access?<br> <br> Discuss, debate, and dissect with us!<br> The lens is – and always will be – curiosity. Each week, fun informal conversations center around one delectable Curiosity Bite designed to give your brain the time and ideas to think about thinking, to flex your curiosity muscle… and maybe even… revolutionize the way you think.<br> <br> What’s more important to you? What you know…or how you think?<br> <br> Do you say you value how you think more than you value what you know? How much time to you set aside for thinking, developing how you think?<br> This week's Curiosity Bite:<br> <br> Do you need to feel economic relevance to feel valuable?<br> What do you think of Yuval Noah Harari's equation: B + C + D = HH (Biological knowledge + Computer power + Data = Human Hacking)?<br> In this episode...Curious Questions asked and answered...<br> What is economic relevance?<br> <br> How are purpose and passion different? How do they contribute to value differently?<br> <br> How do you feel valuable?<br> <br> What are the two sides of the fairness coin?<br> <br> How do you separate emotion from decision?<br> <br> Are you more or less susceptible to loss aversion than average?<br> <br> What's your favorite pre-existing framework? ...your favorite "ism"?<br> References<br> <a href="https://www.yang2020.com/policies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Andrew Yang's policies</a><br> <br> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_aversion" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Loss Aversion</a><br> <br> Universal Basic Access (Let's Define This Now!)<br> Thanks for Listening!<br> To share your thoughts:<br> <br> * Leave a note in the comment section below or Tweet with #ACLR and we'll find you.<br> * Share this show on <a href="https://twitter.com/BeckiSaltzman" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a> or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/appliedcuriositylab/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a> and your very own favorite social site.<br> <br> To help out the show:<br> <br> * Leave an honest review on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/applied-curiosity-lab-radio/id1282498125" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">iTunes</a>.
