Maximum Income

I would like to hear opinions on how we can rationally and scientifically decide what maximum yearly income should be warranted in specific countries. I am in favor of democratically deciding to impose a maximum income, and applying a 100% tax above that maximum income. If I were to personally express a preference relevant to […]

Enablers, Collaborators, Shills, Wannabees and Sycophants

I classify the wannabee “successful” as in part deluded and in part collaborators. Primarily I simply define personal success not as in amassing individual wealth, but rather how you contribute to shared collective wealth. If you do that, sure I don’t have issues with a reward. It is no longer possible for an appreciable percentage […]

To the waking dream and never more to sleep in sedation

We have been lulled to sleep. We as in “the western, liberal, democratic, multicultural, inclusive, capitalist, globalized, service-economy” world has been lulled to sleep. Nobody says it best as the stand-up commentator George Carlin. This leitmotiff of the sleepless dream, the non aspirational world that is, according to Francis Fukuyama, “finished”, is nothing less than […]

Back to the future in the Metaverse

(Source) All seems to indicate that new, fully immersive next-generation virtual worlds and user interfaces may be behind the corner. Let’s go back to the future in the Metaverse! Facebook‘s acquisition of Oculus VR, makers of the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality (VR) headset, has been all over the news for weeks. The first press reports […]

Money WhatIf – HumanCoin.

I just watched a video of an event in Amsterdam where the well-known Libertarian Stefan Molyneux spoke. Let me link it for your edification. Immediately after the event his Google+, Gmail and Youtube were deleted, as a result of complain vandalism. In other words, what he said caused a counter reaction. Now I am not […]

Four Basic Income Scenarios, Scenario 4

Scenario 4 – A Future where things Turn out Badly without Basic Income It is the year 2040, and things are muddling on. It is the NAUSCOM, or “North Atlantic United Solidarity Command”. It is pretty much a defensive pact dedicated on providing shared defense against immigrants and uprisings. In the last 25 years there […]

Four Basic Income Scenarios, Scenario 3

Scenario 3 – A Future that does well without Basic Income It is the year 2040. We are in the former United States of America. Things turned out spectacular and everyone is congratulating everyone else just how good we got it. Technological progress has been unabated, and we are clearly very close a a Technological […]

Four Basic Income Scenarios, Scenario 2

Scenario 2 – What if Basic Income Goes Badly It is the year 2040. We are in the United States of America. In some periods in history the past is not discussed, and in this particular 2040 United States all people live in a shiny, wonderful present. Everyone is in total agreement the US is […]

Four Basic Income Scenarios, Scenario 1

In response to the invitation posed on Reddit I formulate a typical illustrative four scenario matrix range. I also take in to account the speculative philosophical concepts of “Singularity”, “Transhumanism”, “Existential freedom”, and “Abolitionism” . Clearly the idea is growing – futurist Robert Theobald in Free Men and Free Markets back in the 1960s made […]

Children of Prometheus 001

The universe has become a tower and the tower mounted a lance of fire. Deep below the tower was a barely visible yellow dot with a half crown bright arc of silver. The dot was millions of kilometers distant, and the illusion is was below the tower was cultivated by the onset of deceleration of […]

Planetary Gangrene

In this article I will be arguing why we can never willingly accept a partial die-off of the human species on the planet. I will argue we can’t even accept a transition to widespread disparity as a result of sharp decrease in available planetary resources. The point I will be making – any massive collapse […]
