I don't know that it's safe to assume unconditional basic income is inevitable. There's not much precedent. But there's centuries of precedent for caste systems

I don't know that it's safe to assume unconditional basic income is inevitable. There's not much precedent. But there's centuries of precedent for caste systems and serfdom. Although, I do share your enthusiasm for the idea.
- carapace 8y ago> I don't know that it's safe to assume unconditional basic income is inevitable. Oh, I don't. I was reading Lovelock's "The Revenge of Gaia" this morning and now the only thing I think is inevitable is climate shift to a hot house mode. We'll be lucky if 0.1% of humanity threads that needle. It's not inevitable, but I don't think we'll change course rapidly enough to make it.
