I like to think our generation either gets to see, or brings about, universal basic income. Because of technology. Yes. That’s why.

If we get UBI, it won't be because of technology. It will be because of political will. First, the status quo needs to be pushed away from the pseudoreligious belief that the poor deserve their place.

And the pseudoreligious belief that the wealthy exist by virtue of "hard work" and not a broken system.

The overlap between both beliefs might as well be a circle.

I disagree, but only because I think it will be something significantly more radical than UBI

I propose joining desktops globally, when not in use, to create a P2P Network, combining spare processing power/data storage, for an internet with no paywalls/ads & it pays users for using it, w/ World Wide Universal Basic Income (WWUBI). Works w/o gov/taxes worldwideuniversalbasicincome.quora.com

Or tech oligarchs craft a dystopian hellscape where the population of the planet goes down to 1 billion WITH NO VOLUNTEERS. Cause I really don't see the empathy and virtue present in the ruling class to take such a step.

My opinion only but it sure seems like things are going the opposite way.

It’s either UBI or massacring huge numbers of people, and it seems like they’ve already made that choice
