because many of these things are interconnected when it comes to the economic structure
We should be aiming to reach a point where most of the
is automated and not many people need to work
I can't imagine that going well.
UBI would prevent mass unemployment from being a problem
so... Wall-E
To an extent
TEL wants WALL-E IRL
I want to reach Utopia
<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
It's possible and it is what we should be aiming for
I was more thinking of something involving bringing back old style gladiator games because there's so many bored people.
@The Electric Lizard Utopia is just dystopia.
when i was first researching a UBI, i found this study insightful. https://rooseveltinstitute.org/modeling-macroeconomic-effects-ubi/
But those are contradictory terms
Hold up for a second.
Utopia isn't completely possible but we can take efforts to get closer to it
Would you mind if I got a video for reference?
Ensuring very few people have to work would be a stop towars it
@psyxypher Not reallu
UBI wouldn’t solve the Main issue of Americans being Financially Illiterate
@The Electric Lizard Thank ye.
Adeptus, you've hit it on the nose.
We don't need them to be
If you took all the money, and then you give every Person $100,000, those who were once Wealthy will likely become wealthy again, and the Poors will lose it all immediately
No one understands basic economics. I'm willing to bet most of the people in my town have never heard the term "Price Ceiling" before.
@psyxypher The problem with this video is that it describes a very Authoritarian society which in my view could never really be a Utopia
The Society being described for example forces people to work for 2 years
That doesn't really seem like a Utopia
That's *always* how it starts.
I understand the point that the idea of a Utopia for some is a Dystopia for others
But that isn't always the case
I think the best way for a Utopia to function would be a Government with Socially Democratic Bernie Sanders Style Economic Policy while also maintaining a Libertarian approach to Social Policy and intervening with the lives of citizens
if you unironically think humanity will ever reach a point of Utopia....
i dont know what i can do for you mate.
I do.
Explain why he's wrong.
I think we could reach it in a few lifetimes
well you're a more patient man then I am. Thats for certain @psyxypher
Of course it depends on your definition
