RE: 💸Universal Basic Income 💸
Either you simply have more faith in government than I do, or you don't spend much of your time observing and discussing government. Government is brute force. Government is action backed by a gun. Giving more power over our lives to government is always going to turn out bad. We should never voluntarily allow them greater control over us, as in giving them the power over our payroll. They are corrupt and dishonest by nature.
I don't think private companies are any better in terms of corruption. As stated above, consider the possibility of a basic income paid out on a blockchain system. No government involved there and it would be worldwide. That's the model I'd personally prefer to see implemented.
I have to admit I don't fully understand the concept of a UBI by blockchain system and how it would eliminate government corruption from the process. I have been saying to those who will listen for many years that a crisis is coming as the requirement for human labor diminishes. However, government has a horrible history of corruption and terrible outcomes. The difference between government and corporations is the government's authorization to use force. Corporations still require cooperative engagement with customers.
untrue, destruction by corporation is real and often more silent. Corporations are in bed with governments
In those cases it is the government part of the alliance that has the authority to use force. Without the government partner the corporation cannot "legally" use force to coerce its customers.
I can agree with that but think corporations, just like banks are ruling the game. the gov is more like a legal puppet :)
because you think the gov is not going to seek to regulate blockchain... until last month cryptocurrencies were unregulated and the gov stepped in.. do you really think that AI will not find its way through... if you dont, just wait. we do live in an orweillian era and without addressing this problem first, illusions will turn into self-delusion again.
