I&#x27;m not sure providing basic income for a group of people for 5 years is a valid experiment. That group would still need to improve themselves because their money will be gone in 5 years, and they would then need to have built enough of their lives to get a job or be self-financed. The other flaw is that they will be a unique group, not part of a population who all gets the same basic income, so their lifestyle choices will be dictated personally, whereas if everyone had basic income, culture itself would have more impact on choices.<p>It sounds like a great idea to spend time and energy researching this... I just don&#x27;t think the description as posted is going to hit the mark.
