RE: Why distribution is important
When technological unemployment begins to hit the economy in earnest, you will have tens of millions of people living in squalor in the U.S. alone. By hanging onto opposing "communism" you will create a hell on Earth. Ideological opposition to UBI is the most destructive kind. What are you going to do when all those people turn to crime to satisfy their basic material needs? Increase the size of your already huge prison industrial complex tenfold?
You’re preaching to the choir. I’m not a libertarian or conservative.
But that doesn’t mean that I think the solution will not be flawed, but that due to the lack of caring to understand.
I’ve written and cared about the singularity since a while. Recently also wrote about Larimer’s Universal Resource credit.
I even don’t live in first world anymore and I can tell you that development nations who now grow because of globalization and outsourcing, yet not have fully understood family planning, are up for a very rude shakeup.
And so will the libertarian and conservative nations be. But the thing is they don’t care [about others].
I do tho and I am a supporter of UBI. And grew up in a socialist (read center left) family in Western Europe.
Preaching to the choir. But there’s nuances.
