Well i think that western society has a lot of problems, and one of the grave ones is the moralizing stance that “knowledge is good” that was taken over from christianity. In christianity, the bird represents knowledge, and in the story of the world’s creation, the snake (which represents lust) walks up to the human, scares the bird sitting in the holy tree away, and that causes disaster. Ever since then, christianity has condemned lust and favoured knowledge.
We still have that attitude in our society. Children are trimmed into going to school, after that going to more school, after that going to even more school. Young people spend 18 years of their life in school. Children are told as long as they study, they’re going to have good prospects on the job market. And now all of that comes crashing down when AI replaces white-collar workers. That’s part of the crisis.
The solution would of course be to develop true (proper) far-sightedness and develop plans and lifestyle for the next 10000 years.

which is why we need a wealth tax.

Basic income seems like an obvious solution.
ok i agree to this.
But then i do wonder, why take the extra detour over “labor should unite instead of letting business idiots take most of the value they create”? Why not just introduce UBI immediately?

I’ve been floating the idea a couple of times that UBI doesn’t need to be implemented “all at once”. For example, maybe a very test-version UBI could handout $100 to everyone. That’s not enough to live on, but it would provide a good support, especially to low-income households, as they benefit relatively more.

I have a fundamental question.
labor should unite instead of letting business idiots take most of the value they create.
In case you actually manage to do that, and the factories run in fact so well that a million workers are enough to provide the whole US with all the food and consumer articles they need.
Then what do the other 331 million USians do? They would not have a job and therefore no source of income. They would revolt and a civil war would erupt? How would you deal with that?

damn Ubuntu Satanic Edition sounds cool.

I think it doesn’t actually matter what distro you use.
It’s like whether you’re wearing red socks or blue socks. As long as you’re wearing socks, so you don’t get cold, any will do.
