RE: Universal Basic Income is our future, at least according to Mark Zuckerberg

in #basicincome8 years ago

In order for one to consume without production, another must produce without consumption. UBI is just buying political power by promising to rob your neighbors on your behalf.

Sort:  

Yes, that is a good point. Though I guess with UBI, the whole idea would be that this other producing individual would be a computer or a robot of some sort. Atleast that's the only way I can understand this being an option to consider.

Unless you do it without Govt interference. Bots will produce but they will not consume.

Bots require construction costs, energy sources, and maintenance along with human decisions on production and human design. AI can't replace any of that in the foreseeable future.
