Importantly Joe says he has no knowledge of rocket science. And it is very easy to fool anyone lacking knowledge about a subject. If he knew more about the science and tech needed, he would not doubt the fact that USA landed on the moon in 1969.

Well, it would need to be a sport where physical traits would not be very important. Top Fuel Drag Racing for example.

Sounds normal at 3/4 speed.

A family (man+wife+children) is typically a communist setup. Unless you force your 2 year old to work 8 hours a day to pay for his food. Income is shared and everyone gets what is needed. Communism works in very small, tightly knit communities. But that's it.

@soberanisfam1323 - why not ban tractors when one is at it.

How come welfare states work today? I live in Norway, we don't have homeless people, as everyone gets a place to live, money for food, etc, if you cannot afford it yourself. But you cannot expect to pay people 10USD/h to work either, because they wouldn't bother. So (upper)middle class and above is of course less wealthy here, because there isn't so much cheap labor around to exploit.

Still have women and men teams - probably for a reason.

@silversaiyan3783 - I live in Norway, we don't technically have UBI, but a fairly extensive social welfare system. So here is my take on it. The argument that you wouldn't flip burgers for 10USD/h if you got 1000USD for free, is somewhat correct. However, you would probably flip them for 100USD/h. This leads to people not taking shitty jobs with bad pay because they are forced, increasing happiness and salaries for shitty jobs. It also makes it more likely that business owners will try to automate or make/embrace innovations that increase productivity pr. employee. And finally it makes the rich and upper middle class less rich, as they don't get as much low-end work done for cheap. Immigrants from some parts of the world have different work ethics, and might be happy with the life given by the welfare system, contributing nothing. This can cause issues with the entire system.

@silversaiyan3783 - introducing UBI in Norway would be much simpler than doing the same in US. UBI is going to chance society (and the reason to introduce is, is to change society from the negative effects that massive automation is expected to have). It will mean taking money away from those owning the robots and giving it to those who doesn't. The way welfare states work is that they sort of 'dampen' the effects of full on capitalism. Your economy will have a 'smoother' ride. Norway barely noticed the 2008 recession for example, but US is speeding ahead faster now. But who cares, when everyone has enough to live good anyways?

@silversaiyan3783 - (you obviously don't know how good our tax collectors are :)) My point is more that the change to society and culture that UBI would bring is much more to US than to Norway. For the Norwegian society it would be a moderate change, and I think we would adapt quickly to it. For US it is a major change both culturally and economically. It is therefore countries like Norway that will try this out first when it becomes obvious that automation takes our jobs, and that they are not coming back. (This is still in the hypothetical future though).

@silversaiyan3783 - yes, but that's not a problem per say. Its just when you get loads of unemployment because of it. In Norway higher education is free, so a few menial jobs going away of the dodo isn't going to upset anyone. Its when large amounts of more advanced jobs gets automated and not coming back, that's when UBI might become viable. We are not there yet, but maybe in a decade or two.

@silversaiyan3783 - but we don't know yet if it will be a problem. Just like it didn't turn out to be a problem when people stopped being farmers and started working in factories instead. Figuring out UBI in Norway is probably done in a year or two, if we wanted to. It would just be a matter of changing existing welfare programs and adjusting rules as needed, maybe have some transitional programs in place. But that wouldn't happen before it is obvious that change is needed, and that would require enough people to be affected by automation, so they put the necessary political pressure on the system. (Alternatively riots in other countries would bring the topic up here).

@pOOTERgOBLiN - I'm sure you'll find the beacon of freedom, Somalia - to your tasting. Any law infringe on your freedom, any tax as well. Somalia is the land for you, no laws, no taxes, just pure freedom.

@silversaiyan3783 - but you assume jobs are not opening up elsewhere. We don't know that yet. There are work to be done in Fusion Planet creation, although this work isn't for your average coal-miner, it doesn't mean that jobs doesn't pop up.

Well, its not half bad idea.

Welfare states exists today, and they give money to people that isn't working. One positive thing about this is that some people actually have negative productivity (they ruin more than they create), getting them away from the labor market is and over on welfare is a good thing.

@The Liberal Capitalist - there is a lot of Hype in regards to AI and machines capabilities. Like the tractor made a lot of people redundant on farms, AI and machines might make a lot of people redundant. At some point we should all be redundant and just live the high-life as depicted in Wall-E, with robots doing all the work.

If Africa and Asia would have followed this wisdom, the world would have been a nicer place.

Roulette is pretty fair, except the house always win. Poker is probably going to work as well.

Well in some countries, sitting under a palm tree while wife fetches water 10km away is happiness and purpose.

Everyone gets X amount of robots at birth, and earn the surplus the robots provide. Want more, be highly skilled and work fixing robots.
1
State buys all robots, and puts them to work. Everyone else does whatever they want, and the surplus made by government robots are shared on the populace. It's not how we do it today, but it can be compared to earlier slave societies, but now we have robot slaves instead of human. And then comes the slave revolt...

Apparently even curling have separate teams. Guys must be better at sweeping as well.

And that's how you get economic growth. Food is now so cheap that everyone can afford it. In the good old days, it was very expensive and people starved.

Only parts of it fortunately.

Politics?

No, that's bad. Everyone gets 1000. However, they would probably need to increase income tax, so the rich pays 2000, get 1000 back. While the poor just gets 1000.
