RE: Citizen's income common misconceptions and assumptions and how robots can lead to a tax free society
I think it is not a question of logic, it is a question about which society we want to build and how to agree about common objectives.
Shared self interest is the only way to unite people who hate each other. Two families can own shares in the same company and despise one another.
People will never agree without incentives. Those incentives have to outweigh the disincentives. And then you can appeal to reason over emotion.
Logic and rationality is the how. Your preferred society or desired outcome doesn't just happen because you imagine it. So you cannot escape the fact that logic is critical to achieving anything and rationality is the only way to get anything done.
Do you really think people are just going to fall in line with your wishes? Give it a try and find out.
Logic and rationality are just human imagined tools to connect dots where imagined illogic and irrational connections have yet to be connected. Mankind continues to imagine better ways but it takes a strong and determined leader to convince enough of the current state of momentum that a newly imaged way is logical and rational to enough people to cause a movement in that direction.
"rationality is the only way to get anything done." I do not see at lot of rationality !
