What would be absurd about a global UBI? It's amazing how fast people jump off the high horse of equality when you point out that on a global scale they are incredibly rich and privileged.

Equality to them means them getting more material goods, not them giving up more material goods.

It's about impracticality, not morality. It doesn't make feasible sense to fix the whole world's economy in one go. And we shouldn't let imperfection get in the way of progress.

Just identify one poor country that isn't very corrupt and start sending UBI money to it first.
