RE: Universal Basic Income: What it Means, How it Works, & Why it Will Transform Our World
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I wish more people were open to the idea, or at least discussing it. If Switzerland's population is worried, I can't imagine what the average American would say.. lol.
Much like Stockholm syndrome, people fear the unknown. The question becomes how long does it take for people to understand most of the system(s) in place only benefit the top 1-5%. I am hopeful decentralized platforms, like this one Steemit, will help the people take back forms the centralized forms of authority.
Yes humans are afraid of change. Why risk what you have now?
Well you have to see that Switzerland is always slow with change. In some areas women were not allowed to vote until 1990. o.O
I also think decentralized platforms are a good step but even here we have huge inequalities. If I invest 1’000‘00USD in steem power my vote is so much more worth then the mayorities and so I can influence the platform in a big way.
UBI seems to me like another tool for bringing about a New World Order and centralizing power and authority for the global elite. UBI is completely contradictory to decentralizing forms of authority so I'm not sure why you'd be in favor of it.
It's by no means perfect. But it could be used as a tool to help each other, help ourselves. If doled out in a non-threatening or controlling way - using AI and blockchain technologies to help work out the authority kinks.
