An entrepreneurial culture thrives when it’s easy to try lots of new ideas. We should explore ideas like universal basic income to give everyone a cushion to try new things. There is something wrong with our system when I can make billions of dollars in 10 years while millions of students can’t afford to pay off their loans, let alone start a business. (source)

I strongly believe that a basic income is a better solution than a basic job-guarantee. In a world that's rapidly changing due to technology and automation, providing a basic income ensures everyone has a safety net, allowing people to pursue their passions, start businesses, or invest in education without the constant pressure of job security. This approach fosters innovation and creativity, which are essential in the digital age.

I believe focusing on wealth creation can bolster leftist agendas by providing resources to fund social programs, invest in education, and reduce income inequality.

As a philanthropist, I believe technology empowers us to make informed decisions about giving. While local causes are vital, the true impact of a cause should guide our donations, even if it means looking beyond our immediate geography to address global challenges.
