Hi Scott,

What a great idea to publish a status report. I am following your work with the goal of writing some articles and getting the topic on the agenda in all the ways I can.

UBI is the future and the AlphaGo article convinced me even more, because of the jobs that computers will make obsolete in…

I think this going to be one of the more painful aspects of modernity especially as we work towards things like a UBI and the fear the powerful are going to exploit the most as it happens.

It’s going to involve people asking themselves a very painful question: who are you outside of work? Is there anything left inside?

The problem there is that the only effort that’s rewarded under the wage system is that which occurs in a job. A lot of creative work, care work, community work, and other socially-valuable work goes unrewarded, yet lobbying for tax loopholes or weaker pollution standards, facilitating the burning of fossil fuels, promoting the mass use of pesticides…

Don’t feed the trolls.

I don’t give two shits if you indulged on bourbon and fed yourself — that’s what life is supposed to about — eat drink and be merry. Oh wait, that’s only for self entitled ‘elitists’ that get rich by screwing their workforce into oblivion — my bad.
