  1. De nieuwe studie van Sam Altman laat eigenlijk weinig nieuws zien
    Er is wat ophef over de uitkomsten van een onderzoek naar basisinkomen dat Sam Altman heeft laten uitvoeren. Scott Santens laat zien dat de uitkomsten vrijwel geheel in lijn liggen met uitkomsten van eerdere experimenten.

    Here in Germany there is a common known Saying about Work that goes as follows, literally translated into English:

    "A meritocracy, only those who work are allowed to participate."

    I don't have a Clue either why this overworked Lifestyle is idolized that much or why People believe in it. 🤔

    That's definitely toxic Behavior of Society.

  3. Bit of UBI goodness. The only reason it's not implemented is because if people weren't stuck in underpaid jobs where corporations don't pay a living wage and welfare is used then they might ask questions.

    And last time _that_ happened was the summer of 2020 which is why they've been desperate to "return to normal".

    Are we just supposed to write it off as "Some people will #freeload, and the rest will just have to pay to #subsidize them without having any say about it"?

    Or is there another answer? If so, what is it? If it's "shut up and pay for their sloth", how do you justify that #morally, or #practically? It's bound to create #conflict.

    And yet, you still haven't addressed the question. As I said, proponents of UBI seem to universally ignore even the possibility that anyone under #UBI would not be a productive member of society.

    When pressed, they usually say "oh, that won't happen".

    I can only say that their view of society would seem to be entirely #uncontaminated by exposure to #actual #people.

    Maybe iF they didn't use #StateSponsoredMalware like #GammaGroup's #FinFisher #FinSpy #Finsky to *MAKE* people homeless and able to *GET* jobs due to getting *CAUGHT* *BLOCKING* calls & *MANIPULATING* *SMS MESSAGES* FROM employers... THAT would be a good FIRST STEP.

    I responded to another with more details, but maybe that didn't make it to your instance.

    "No need to do anything" - so most people will contribute (work/taxes, or create art, or volunteer in the community, etc), and those #productive people will see their effort go to #subsidize others who do nothing productive at all. Demonstrably #unfair, and will definitely cause #conflict.

    It's unworkable. We need an answer to this question to evaluate any UBI scheme.

  10. @scottsantens in a sane world absolutely, except the deathcult plan is to kill as many people as possible to hope to survive in a post-climate world. #Malthusian theory is not new, but it is the majority thinking amongst the psychopaths 1% that have pillaged half of the world’s wealth. The only way for them to continue living with their privileges is to wipe out the rest of us. Unless we treat them for the threat that they are, we are doomed.

    I didn't think passing Bill C223 to study a Guaranteed Livable Income would be an easy win, but neither did I think it would be so strongly defeated.

    And this was just for a study! The cost would have been minimal, but I guess politicians were afraid the study results might have indicated they've done a poor job of providing the social safety net they claim we have in Canada.

    #UBI #proposals are usually silent on this, but it needs to be answered. What's your say regarding...

    Some people will choose not to do anything #productive, and be happy living on the UBI doing nothing but watching TV etc. I do not know the exact percentage of the populace that will choose #sloth, but I know for certain that it will not be #zero.

    What does the rest of society do about this? Is the answer "Just accept some will #freeload and let them"?

    If not, what is it?

  24. Canada needs to implement basic income immediately, before the stories start rolling in of people in poverty opting for death over more life in poverty.

    In Canada, the "cost of dying" is now publicly funded, but the "cost of living" is not.

    Think about that. Think about the outcomes of this societal choice.

    Horrific.
