    UBI is not a matter of “if”, it’s of “when”.

    With automation and the fuckin AI, companies can do more and more with less and less people.

    The concept of unemployement will be alien as well.

      Eventually humans won’t be capable of performing any valuable economic activity, but in the past those who weren’t capable of performing valuable economic activity usually ended up as starving beggars rather than pampered pets… I think that a future of robots working for robots with humans struggling to survive on the periphery is not unlikely.

        Maybe, but there’s also a good chance that the future doesn’t compare to the past, and stuff will go well. We should definitely consider that option.
