If you create money (debt symbols) without the corresponding good or service, you devalue the debt.

This is the central logical fallacy in your argument: you're equating UBI with inflation. UBI is different because it's funded through taxation, which holds the money supply constant.

The best solution to human poverty and suffering that we've ever created is economic opportunity. When given the chance, humans will thrive and succeed.

This is the central emotional fallacy in your argument: that a person's fate is decided by their actions. You're applying your own belief system, rather than using systems-level thinking to do the work of root cause analysis, meta analysis, epidemiological analysis around the psychological effects of wealth inequality, etc. That's why you feel very strongly about your solution, without having evidence to support it, and why people like me who have a different life experience don't subscribe to it.

If we study history, we see that technology was available after the Green Revolution, post WWII, to feed everyone in the world by the late 1960s. We see that so many measures of poverty like infant mortality are unnecessary symptoms, because modern medicine made birth control pills available and pregnancy safe, again by the late 60s. Same with basic measures of equality like the percentage of the workforce who are women, which was rising substantially by the 60s, but close to parity in the western world by the 1980s.

What's really going on is that a luddite backlash occurs every time that humankind overcomes adversity. For example, Nixon started the War on Drugs as a pretense to put US leftists in prison, by making the plant medicines they use to expand consciousness illegal. The Vietnam War, Oil Embargo, trickle-down economics, loss of unions, Savings and Loan Scandal, first Gulf War, Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act, Dot Com Bubble popping, 9/11, Second Gulf War, Who Killed the Electric Car, outsourcing, Housing Bubble popping, 2016 election, 30% tariff on imported solar panels, and even the COVID-19 pandemic (I could go on forever) are a direct result of that fear-mongering and othering dividing us along ideological lines. Which all stemmed from Nixon's and Goldwater's Southern Strategy to enforce segregation.

Reports like this begin to make sense when one understands the sabotage and corruption that create wealth inequality:

And we see that if we cut taxes on the wealthy further, then wealth inequality increases. One person's definition of opportunity becomes another's definition of subjugation. If we continue on the path we're on, then the National Debt will succeed in finally taking away all self-determination and agency from US workers, forcing them to stay underemployed to survive. Taking away the very opportunity and choice which you so advocate.

With the arrival of AI and sustainable solutions to preserve the environment, we're again at one of these crossroads. We can embrace solutions like UBI and free humanity from forced labor, or we can double down on the failed solutions of the past century and move further into dystopia.

I hope that some of these breadcrumbs help you on your journey of discovery. If your first instinct is to outright reject what I'm suggesting, then I hope you take some time to think upon the events in your life which obfuscated the things I've said. I'll do the same, because your truth is valid to me and if we would listen more, I think that we could solve these longstanding problems and transition to a 21st century economy which works for everyone.
