Everyone wants UBI but no one explains how that shit would work. And you can bet that you would only get enough to barely subsist in such a system as you are just being paid fake money to exist. That’s no world for humans to thrive in.
I think the idea is if you’re guaranteed a subsistence pay, then you are free to devote your time to creating something. Art, a business, a community, whatever that makes your life meaningful, rather than devoting 90% of your time working for someone elses profit, travelling to work, resting to be able to work, and eating to continue to work.
You want to talk about bare subsistence, that is what most people are doing now in terms of time as a resource.
In our system what would prevent basic necessities from costing “UBI + some amount” after it’s implemented? If this is something that you want to happen, you won’t get it by just discussing the benefits while ignoring/downvoting any sort of critical discussion of it.
It’s not money. It’s timing. You really want UBI before automation. There’s never been a push for AI and robots like this before.
