AI makes a $10k UBI possible. The real barrier isn’t money, it’s culture. If society can’t imagine life beyond wage work, collapse won’t be financial - it’ll be cultural.

Control of the working class by the rich has always included the belief that the poor must toil long hours for low wages otherwise they will fall into sin and spend too much on vice. The people who control AI are not going to approve a UBI - they see it as ‘welfare for the unworthy.’
We can build UBI ourselves because we can build monetary systems and political systems ourselves.
Really thoughtful points here. The shift isn’t just theory - it’s starting to take shape in practice. That’s where the real work begins.
Thank you for taking a look. I'm actively working on building out the system. Gathering a group of people together who are interested in building, mapping out the design and course that we can follow to get to the destination, and building as much of the resources as I can along the way.
If you know anyone who would want to join such a project, feel free to send them my way or just suggest that they join the discord server linked in the thread.
Glad to hear you’re already gathering and mapping this out - the work is urgent. I’ll DM you to connect more directly.
