Septimiu.B.D - Resistance is NOT futile! If you want to do something now, you can find like minded people with a practical and diverse set of knowledge and skills and gather enough resources so that you can go form your own self-sufficient micro-community and won't have to take part in this when/if it happens. The problem I see is that we are already so far along the path to this being reality that there probably isn't too much we can do to keep it from happening. But humans do two things really well - mess things up and figure out ways to deal with or work around the thing that last asshole messed up. If at some point a unified system monitored by AI and enforced by a full spectrum totalitarian security force provides a universal basic income card (chip, data-tat, etc.) that we all have to use for all of our everything then we'll either submit and have to hope for a gilded cage and benevolent keepers, take part in the counter response by whatever small minority of people choose to fight against such a world, or try to find some middle path between the two worlds like most of us already are doing today.
Something I am sure of is that the vast majority of people in the modern First World of our Western Civ 2K already live in a gilded cage and have our entire lives. We pretend we're free and are making our own choices to go where we want and do what we want and while there is some truth to that in a much larger sense very few of us really are. And most of us don't want to be set free and wouldn't know what to do with ourselves if we really were. For those of us who refuse to be forced in to such a system, there will be a way around it. It might mean having to live mobily on scraps and cast offs, but people will find a way if they want it badly enough. And there will, depending on the nature of the ruling order, be people gaming the system all the time.
We humans put ourselves above our fellow animal species, even our primate cousins, but at the end of the day we're still mostly apes pushing a button for a treat. The thing is that some of us are also very clever apes that want to take that button apart and figure out where that treat is coming from. And we can because we have THUMBS! Nothing more dangerous than a clever ape with an opposable thumb. They end up building bombs that can destroy everyone or develope medicine to save everyone. So I have hope and we all should, but I also hope the planet doesn't kill us off to save itself before we can figure out this phase in our history and get our collective poop in a group.
I'm a hell of a lot more concerned about that than, as someone else so aptly put it, a multipass. Nowhere near enough of the people and things that needed to happen to keep the problems we are going to face from the changing climate to a minimum have happened and we are absolutely past any tipping point for any serious problems to come. I don't know if it's going to be in a few years or a few decades, but there's your problem. And wouldn't cha know, it's right next to a gosh dang population explosion - now that's gonna be a toughee to fix, mister. Looks like we all got some hard choices to make for ourselves. Good luck, brothers and sisters. Be excellent to each other.
(apologies for the length)
