    UBI is not about wealth redistribution. The easiest way I’d describe it is if we created food stamps but for cash.

    And the phenomenon you are describing where the rest of society is subsidizing the wealthy is our current reality.

    UBI in a sense ditches the concept of money as an incentive tool for productivity.

      I was responding to the idea that our jobs are going to be automated away.

      Which is exactly what I said’ The “productive” (those with the means of automation)

      Will live lavishly while the “unproductive” ( the rest of us) will not.

      I agree our current reality sucks. Im saying that UBI, as opposed to a moneyless society) is exactly what the wealthy would prefer

      The capitalist solution to a capitalist problem. Do not mistake my opposition of UBI to me being pro capitalist. Its exactly the opposite.

        Don’t buy the lies. AI cannot automate everything and the jobs it will replace are ones that aren’t of much value in the age of improved efficiency (which is what AI really is).

        Though I won’t argue that the owners of AI will be the winners of whatever revolution comes out of this whole cacophony of noise.
