I did not read all the posts completely, but I missed one point here. Our system only works because we are wasting resources through unnecessary production.
Just today there was a fitting reddit post about what I mean.
UBI is for the last nail in the coffin that justifies our current economic system. It just prolongs the eventual discussion about real changes.
I am not close to understand the current economy. As I see it, the thing that somehow works is FOSS and the path it took to succeed. People believe in free distribution and usage. People devoting their time to produce software for the community and participation in such projects.
Economy experts will always try to convince us that capitalism and the growth problem can be solved, but this only under the assumption that we continue exploiting and wasting resources, both natural and human.
Over last the couple of month I have been reading statements to be not that much productive. The argument is, that if we automate too much, how can the system live on?
By handing out income via UBI? All the unclear points have already been pointed out here and it does not solve my initial statement and that is that we are producing too much and development and with it production cycles are too short. New devices, new products just come with minor changes and those maybe because of the short development time with a shorter lifetime and more problems.
We are used to a certain way of living. It is time to overthink our lifestyle and then start a real discussion on how to solve our problems.
