@scottsantens None of that matters.

We live in a system under selection, meaning that we get a present populated by whatever in the past replicated itself.

"Basic income" will function as a transfer of public funds to private wealth if it's possible to copy private wealth into the future. (E.g., "the yard-sale model" for a simple explanation of how this works.)

If we actually want to improve anything, the problem isn't obtaining basic income; it's abolishing persistent wealth.
