i think that is part of the problem. it can be too many things which leads to disagreement

okay added michelangelo. what else? bsky.app/profile/mich...

disagree. i think we can find more agreement about what people's needs are than we can on redistributing wealth

this is what i'm not sure everyone will agree upon. it seems less contentious to me to say that people should have food, water, and shelter

And while I don’t claim that this list is exhaustive, it gives us a place to begin work.

With the rise of the AI, governments must ensure basic human dignity in the form of universal access to food, water, and shelter.

Anything less is simply undignified.

I think there is something else that we can all agree upon: everyone deserves dignity.

While there are several formulations of what basic human dignity should encompass, I believe things like access to food, water, and shelter are incontrovertible.

But maybe not so great. Is the role of government simply wealth redistribution?

Might UBI disincentive work? Won’t UBI accelerate already rampant inflation?

It’s unclear to me that UBI is a mechanism we all can agree upon.

One proposed solution is UBI.

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a social welfare policy where all individuals receive a regular, unconditional sum of money from the government.

Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

Basic Human Dignity not UBI.

With the rise of the AI, there has been increased discussion about job displacement.

What are people to do if the AI takes all the jobs? 🧵👇

not sure. haven’t been able to figure this out either
