I have reach the mindset of just awaiting the mad max world
Okay so for the amount you give in you get a return that’s even
It isn’t what you wanted
But you understand that it will help you later on
Right
UBI is the only solution for a more automated society though
Oh god
Not right now, of course, but soon
please no, no UBI
I dont see an alternative solution when automation kicks into overdrive
Unless theres some sort of massive robitics convention which limits automation
automation has been kicked into overdrive for decades
war, or a new job robots can't do
but UBI can't work
Robots literally take over jobs in fallout
its mathematically impossible
Warfare is already on the table
But you can’t have a bunch of robots working in the police force
Russia and china are both pursuing autonomous weapons systems
And the idea of automated cashiers is almost nonexistent
Why is it mathematically impossible?
cuz you'd either have to tax everyone 100%, making working useless, meaning the jobs you can't replace yet exceptionally hard to fill
Economies produce surpluses. As long as the UBI pool does not exceed that, the balance sheet remains positive.
or you'd have to hyperinflate every payout session
making the money literally useless to have
But then for each tax you pay 90% of it
And then you’re left with some money
Maybe I have a different definition of UBI.
And you pay 90% of the next without replenishing
You’re just going to lose it all
Is it not a guarantee of a minimum income?
He’s basically just saying lower our taxes
yes
but how do you get that minimal income?
From the economy's surplus.
How do you finance any other government program?
tax money
Well then if everyone is taking it from the economy then no one is going to replenish the economy
if you have machines to replace all food production, you can do it everywhere
Thus making food non-tradable
meaning you stop getting economy surplus
