UBI before universal healthcare and basic food and shelter rights will be a detriment to our society. I’d love to live in a world where UBI is common, but I can only imagine that corporations will find ways of swallowing that money up through things like monthly subscriptions for the most basic shit.

I don’t like the idea that there is/should be one end-all be-all political system. Society operates in phases and each phase requires a new political system.

In my opinion, we’re still gaining from capitalism but heading more towards a democratic socialist type of economy, similar to Norway/Sweden. I think there should be a focus on building great unshakable democratic institutions with checks and balances that eliminate the possibility of corruption.

I don’t believe in relying on the idea of a singularity but I certainly think AI will help us achieve this.

I don’t care if it does or doesn’t. I can sympathize with religious people for choosing to believe in something. The issue is people that take it so seriously to the point that they believe their main life purpose is to spread their beliefs.

There will definitely be less of these people, thank goodness. It’s just the way society progresses
