You know, the way I see it, we can have either star-trek like future, or blade-runner like. I would very much prefer the first one. And it does not mean we would have to have mass produced apartments (see cob buildings, hemp crete - the legislature/corporations is/are the problem). There is enough place to give everybody a house & a garden, ideally sustainably built (no plastics in the walls etc.), and with UBI live a good life, without beeing dependent on a job, you don't want, just to be able to live. What progress that would bring. I'm also not talking about rations and/or soylent - I want healthy vegetables/nuts/seeds, not the unhealthy food & poisons (herbicides,pesticides, vegetable oils, antibiotics, pfoas ...) we're fed right now with our exploitative market economy. I want healthy planet, full of (free-living) animals and clean air & rivers. I also want computers (not devices) and agi - but without nsa & patents, please. I can only dream. But if we continue to do business-as-usual and keep doing the same stuff over and over, pretending that the rat-race is essential to our progress, and pray for economic growth in expense of our living space (the little blue dot), that's the insanity Einstein was talking about. We don't have to eat & consume to the extinction. That was my point. And UBI might just be the way to do it.
