michel on ubi ness
michel bauwens on unconditional basic income ness
via quote tweet [https://x.com/mbauwens/status/2044335281558749554?s=20]:
*UBI makes sense because it is unconditional and **frees motivated people from conditional support and dependency and moves away from welfare dependency on a controlling government. ***But it’s just basic survival in a world without income. Most of all: it doesn’t guarantee meaning nor motivation. ****In the current context, you can imagine a lot of people turning to various addictions to fill their time.
*****Transition income, investing in regenerative transformation, and self-owned pre-distributionary assets are more interesting as they can be used by motivated productive communities.

*ubi.. nothing to date.. has been legit unconditional.. (not to mention.. even saying **frees motivated people.. is already conditional ness) .. so it doesn’t actually free people up.. rather.. just perpetuates same song.. the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world.. of not-us ness.. of part\ial ness.. perpetuating survival triage.. for (blank)’s sake..
***but it’s not even that.. still counting/measuring.. so still not even us.. so not surviving
****true.. need hari rat park law as well.. need both in the city and as the day

there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. for (blank)’s sake..
ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
*****same song.. because not sans any form of m\a\p.. still chalked full of conditions et al.. keeping us not us..
perhaps let’s try/code money (any form of measuring/accounting/people telling other people what to do) as the planned obsolescence.. where legit needs are met w/o money.. till people forget about measuring..ie: sabbatical ish transition
