How could we rebrand things like "facts" and "science" and "scholarly endeavour" to appeal to a populist country that has been taught these are out to get them? Like, what if we called empirical data "the receipts" or the scientific method "truth fishing" or academic conferences "know-downs"?

I would sleep better. I would be able to save money. I would give more to charity and subscribe to more magazines, buy more books. I could afford to say no to some paying work so I could spend more time on my writing.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?
