RE: Why distribution is important
This is one of the best platforms possible when it comes to distribution.
It has many issues but despite all those it does massively contribute to something barely any other platform does: distributions takes place as we speak, write, breathe here.
Truth to be told... it is rather the utopia for most. Compare Steem with all its issues to $LIKE.
Luckily there are all the problems because they allow us to develop and design alternative options.
Now it would be nice if the Milkers actually understood how awesome this platform could be for them if they thought even as little as two to three years ahead only, rather than throwing parties right now.
Addendum: I don’t believe in UBI. Not in UBI as the default necessary solution. But I believe in UBI for those knowledgeable enough to opt in to such society.
When technological unemployment begins to hit the economy in earnest, you will have tens of millions of people living in squalor in the U.S. alone. By hanging onto opposing "communism" you will create a hell on Earth. Ideological opposition to UBI is the most destructive kind. What are you going to do when all those people turn to crime to satisfy their basic material needs? Increase the size of your already huge prison industrial complex tenfold?
You’re preaching to the choir. I’m not a libertarian or conservative.
But that doesn’t mean that I think the solution will not be flawed, but that due to the lack of caring to understand.
I’ve written and cared about the singularity since a while. Recently also wrote about Larimer’s Universal Resource credit.
I even don’t live in first world anymore and I can tell you that development nations who now grow because of globalization and outsourcing, yet not have fully understood family planning, are up for a very rude shakeup.
And so will the libertarian and conservative nations be. But the thing is they don’t care [about others].
I do tho and I am a supporter of UBI. And grew up in a socialist (read center left) family in Western Europe.
Preaching to the choir. But there’s nuances.
Yes, UBI for users contributing and proving their skills of creating helpful tools for the platform. Guess that does kind of sound like communism.
No, it doesn’t. Communism requires no proving nor creation. It requires just drones. Sweatshops.
UBI turns the clock back 5 to 6 decades and gives everyone, also those too burdened now, the opportunity to become entrepreneurs again. Without worry for baselevel obligations.
In communism the system tells you what you do. You are the machines.
