We won't see great minds and personalities repeated for at least another decade or so.

Overlooking that reincarnation is unlikely, the bigger issue is that you used "to" rather than "too" =p

Continuing consciousness is more important than a typo, Mr negative nancy.

How many great artists have we had since Picasso or Van Gogh?

Thousands of more talented people are probably slowly dying working in factories or something atm.

Picasso was a notorious misogynist and Van Gogh was a nut. The former will be soon disgraced by today's standards and the latter has yet to come again (are you staring into that ear?).

I'm looking for the next Mencken and HS Thompson.

Kind of the nature of creative endeavors, tbh. Tons of talented people out there, but only a select few ever get their due.

Depending on the belief system, part of the issue may be that really incredible people may be unlikely to reincarnate any more.

even if you believe in reincarnation, i thought it wasn't always as another human. you could come back as an animal or something.

i don't believe in it at all.

That's one of the major benefits of a basic guaranteed income. Talented people have to eat until they hopefully get noticed, which means working unrelated jobs instead of being able to focus on developing their talent and getting noticed. With a basic income, that's no longer the case.

Reincarnation has never happened and will never happen.

The problem with basic guaranteed income is that you'd have a million wannabe artists and nobody to do society's actual work. Right now we have more people who want to be artists than who could feasibly support themselves, but it's balanced out by the fact that they take day jobs.
