The biggest US cash experiment returned a big fat zero on measurable child outcomes. Dalton Conley tells Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave that poverty rewires the body at the DNA level, but cash alone can’t undo it. The 1960s negative income tax kept people unemployed longer and increased divorce. AI leaders dropped the jobs apocalypse once it scared people. Alaska’s Permanent Fund is the closest thing America has to UBI — bigger checks mean more dentist visits. Conley’s lab now uses epigenetic age clocks to measure whether any of this actually moves the needle.
