Yes but if we were the same you'd villify capitalism as well, lol. You'd know just how evil and misguided it is. So i probably have about 30-40k social media followers. I'm not big but people know me from my content and videos and advocacy. The thing is i started as an unapologetic capitalist.. I was really bad. I was a hotshot on wallstreet at 22. I worked for some of the biggest financial firms in the country.

I hold a series 3 and 7 license. I worked in mergers in aquisitions the last part of my career. So i was a really really bad and excuse my language shitty person. That's why i know how bad capitalism is and the amount of trouble we're going to have. I have a long vast history with money and systems.. I've run several successful businesses as well.

here's a problem and here's an interesting video you may relate to. it's a video about a robotic gourmet chef as you mentioned you were a chef.

So in your example you talk about the employer who works hard and his dream is to get to the level where he runs his own business etc., So that's a very common story right? How many times have you heard that story? Probably many times. Now often times the story doesn't result in a successful ending.

So what happens is there are a few terms that need to be corrected. The first term is capitalism being capitalism and not really neofeudalism. So this bedfellow of capitalism and government or what some may deem corporatism.. These are these mutated capitalisms that can only exist in a capitalistic system which is an issue. So to me intentionally or not they may as well be the same thing.

This type system isn't producing those type of outcomes. People are actually poorer than they were 50-60 years ago. in the 60's one job could support an entire family. Today if you meet a family where only one person has to work. We'd probably consider what was normal family life in the 60's rich compared to now where it's a miracle to find a household where one job can support a family.

So the hardworking guy in your example. The boots are often times so tight on his neck after taxation and cheap employers the chances of him going on to save enough money and get enough skill and education is so hard likely they won't ever fulfill that dream. This capitalism will simply end up a serfdom a feudal system. That's not just my idea. That's what prominent economist are calling it. It's that and it's becoming more of that everyday.

It's evil because slavery is evil. they are effectively saying do this or starve. Do this you won't be able to do anything else but this. This video is a great message from karl widerquist a big ubi advocate that explains a great deal in detail why it's so evil. THe people in it are unconsciously evil. They are they may not understand. Not everyone studies the markets and political systems. However they are vessels for not only the perpetuation of message to the defense of capitalism. They defend it. its like the opening verse in the matrix construct.

What does it say in the opening scene to the simulated matrix " the people are so hopelessly depended on the system they will do everything they can to protect it".. they don't know they are ignorant to the mechanism So the people can't see the evil per se , however just like in the matrix they knew something was wrong just like we do.

So if capitalism is totally evil and it is. No question about it after years of being a worshipper at the altar of capitalism. if it's so evil then what is the way forward. The way forward exist in something called the robot economy.

The robot economy is a scenario in which most of the labor required to sustain human life is automated. ... As jobs are displaced by automation.

Thats not a made up idea.. It's a real system. I completely get coming from the baby boomer generation etc., that this idea of work hard and you are rewarded for it seems right and true. However how often do you find that idea to be a false concept. This corelation between hard work in society.

The people who control the better part of this economy do you really feel like they work hard? I spent on years on wallstreet ethics in the workspace wasn't a strong trait for many of us there. They didn't care about ripping people off as long as they could skirt around the law. Where do you get this notion capitalism works that way? You may be talking about the guys struggling to feed their families that's their reality.

The even bigger issue is just like the video presented in the beginning to you the gourmet chef, there aren't going to be many jobs a person can do that a machine can not do. Now some would argue well that will just create new jobs in new areas.

The problem is the capacity of the cranium is only so big. Evolution hasn't rewarded us with more storage capacity. So likely the machines will outpace us in every way. What's funny is my uncle is a brick mason. He is in disbelief that a robot can lay brick faster than he can. People aren't really aware yet of the level of automation and in 5-10 years over 900 million jobs will be replacable by a robot.

To answer your question about ubi and how it works? So another misconceptoin about ubi is that it's socialism and that everyone is paid the same thing and every dime you make is controlled. That's not even remotely close to what ubi is. That is socialism. UBI is not socialism. I would argue it never was. UBI means universal. It doesn't give money to just needy people. It's not a welfare system. It does give what i would deem supplemental income what test better in phrase is a citizen's dividend.

Some would say it's the only true good capitalism that doesn't start at zero. Meaning of course you have the basic floor income and you're allowed to go on after that and make as much as you want or earn more whatever you desire. There is no precedence set that ubi would be the only wage you can earn.

UBI there are no work requirements it is unconditional often times. Some have proposed ideas like you have to finish school first atleast. You have to be 18 and older and be a citizen of the country. However there is no work requirement.

So as far as where the money comes from. There would be a robot tax and vat on automation itself namely any software transaction and any robot labor. i think this is more than fair in that people who own the ip on robots and create and pay people for that. yes they paid the person who sold it to them for it. they didn't pay us society who are heirs in this resource and rightfully so we contributed to there success in many ways and our contributions and these machines of theirs replaced human labor. So they should be made to pay up i think thats quite fair. I would also say this doesn't only need to include robot labor and software but as well land, resources and even human data which will be more valuable than oil or the oil of the 21st century.

Yes ubi been around for about 300 years now i believe it was first introduced to us by people like thomas paine and the citizen's dividend. Very american ideas etc., So yes i dont think those times were the right time. i think they could see this coming. However now the advancement of our systems and robotics is a concern i think it should be as big as global warming and nuclear proliferation to be honest. You talking about alot of people dying from complications of not being able to support themslves educate themselves. many will end up in prison and on drugs. it's going to create a big domino effect.

As far as hive fake idea about freedom and being censorship resistant. Yes you're right technically somewhere on the chain people can pull up your post. it can still be deleted by some of their front ends.. the posts that are hidden by downvotes sure you can still find it some place amongst tons of flags lol.

You can lose the money and etc., so you not free to earning it in that sense. However here's the only thing i would say about facebook taking your points of view into consideration. it is likely facebook will eventually implement some form of ubi and feed alot of people around the world. Hive is full of gamblers and people who participate in pyramid adn ponzi schemes,, lol. these casino personalities around here lol.

is it really likely that these guys will make the world a better place? its like 30 of them and the world is going to be greeat for them just not the rest of us lol. So what's more feasible? My thoughts are i'm always going to select the less suffering and most benefits to the people over some false idea of a person being free to exploit other users and people.

So some people around here call it freedom. A great philosopher once said freedom starts at breakfast. I don't care how free in idea or concept people think they are. What gives you freedom is the ability to have a meal and give your body sustenance so you can survive and be healthy lol. Facebook will probably solve that issue before hive.

Don't get me wrong. I don't support controlling peoples data. I believe one solution is opting for people to allow their data to be used and they be compensated for it. Seems simple enough to me. Doesn't have to be either or. I have a project bitcoin myk and bbd coin and a website. Totally free project. i'd invite you to check it out and subscribe to my youtube channel you can do that by clicking any video and type in ubi in the search and i have many many videos on it. Anyway good to talk to you didn't mean to type so long, lol.
