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
Id be amazed if other countries werent doing it in secret
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.
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
cuz the economy in those branches stops
and you still have to invest resources into maintaining the machines
If we can automate food production then we can be satisfied
Which is basically it
A utopia is heavily controlled
You would calculate the budget for UPI by the number of people receiving it multiplied by the amount of income it's supposed to guarantee, roughly.
automate food production, and automate its automation
Everyone shares because there is no merit
No one in the giver was making the best new invention
Everyone was content with what they had
you can get UBI once you can automate automation,
At which point you don't need UBI anymore cuz theres no requirement to work
well
Hmm?
We have money to finance our military.
fact is that people with an IQ of 100 or below really have no work anymore
There’s still going to be people repairing shit though
