Yeah, it was Yang. I agree with most of what you said but I was under the impression that the VAT tax he was proposing was to be leveraged against big tech, as in, Amazon would be taxed on every transaction, Google would be taxed on every search, etc. Of course, it’s easy to see how those costs could trickle down though so yeah, taxing passive income makes more sense.

You mean like a “Freedom Dividend”?

Intelligent nano-swarms, symbiotic with our individual micro-biomes, reorganizing matter at the atomic scale? Sounds pretty magical to me!
