Because nobody got no time for dramatic pauses.

Teh robots!

I'd love to be able to simulate the effects of a 1k US$ monthly UBI on the economy of the USA. Where's my quantum computer and advanced economic modeling tools when I need them.

2018-02-12 03:14:35 UTC  

as awesome as UBI sounds, it'd most likely cause mass inflation

2018-02-12 03:14:57 UTC  

unless people selling shit didn't act greedy

2018-02-12 03:15:20 UTC  

but that'd never happen, greed is what holds society together

2018-02-12 03:15:26 UTC  

for the most part

2018-02-12 05:17:45 UTC  

Dude UBI is so easy to debunk

2018-02-12 05:18:20 UTC  

In order for the state to give all citizens $100 every day also means it must tax $100 from those same citizens every day

2018-02-12 05:18:43 UTC  

It can't just keep making more money than it taxes

2018-02-12 05:19:54 UTC  

It’s just sugar coated wealth redistribution

2018-02-12 05:20:17 UTC  

With out the benefit of them doing anything for that welfare

2018-02-12 11:05:28 UTC  

Well, for it to "work", you'd probably have to take it from corporations or the wealthy, mostly. At some point when enough people have lost their jobs, there will be too few consumers to purchase whatever the corporations you're taxing produce, unless there's UBI. So, if the corporations want to survive, they'd need to think of some way to gain a competitive advantage over their rivals. But this just seems so far away, currently, as there is no shortage of consumers.

2018-02-12 11:07:58 UTC  

It's obviously much more complicated than that, so I would not call myself an advocate.

It's simple, you reduce the population by slaughtering the proletariat in the streets

Then you abolish money and everyone gets free food from robots

2018-02-12 12:16:02 UTC  

mm. While UBI is a bad idea IMHO

2018-02-12 12:16:17 UTC  

saying "it's wealth redistribution" is one of the worst counterarguments imaginable

2018-02-12 12:16:46 UTC  

I mean, an impoverished population with nothing to do all day is a problem

2018-02-12 12:16:53 UTC  

because that's how you get crime happening

but muh Star Trek. People will be able to pursuit any Art they like

2018-02-12 12:37:53 UTC  

If robotics and AI continues to advance, at some point it makes sense to assume that there will be no jobs for you to do. So you might as well take up some hobby, like art, or submerse yourself in virtual reality.

2018-02-12 12:37:59 UTC  

The communists and anarchists can duke it out to see who will win in the eternal wargames of vr-valhalla.

but there will still be people with Drive to do things and people with Drive to do nothing.

I had fun idea for game bass on who said it
Normal take qu quotes from famous people in history but in this one instead take feminist social justice warriors and compare them to Nazis and kkk
Do this by removing worlds for example the feminism ones take word the man
Then nazi the word the Jew and ask who’s said was nazi or feminism

2018-02-15 01:40:08 UTC  

that game already exists

2018-02-15 01:40:17 UTC  

In fact, I think Sargon even did a video about it a few years back

2018-02-15 01:40:25 UTC  

"Stormfront or SJW", something like that

2018-02-15 01:40:42 UTC  

Well, that was easier to find than I expected
