Radical Life Extension

The universal basic income (UBI) appeals to many people. It appears to be a simple and relatively easy way to guarantee a minimum income to everyone. The proposal can mean simply giving everyone a fixed amount of money on a regular basis or the “negative income tax” favored by Nobel economist Milton Friedman. It appeals to some transhumanists who look ahead to a hoped-for day when AI-driven corporations produce tremendous value with little to no human input. Whether or not UBI is workable today, some believe it will be in this future.

The UBI as typically promoted is unworkable (especially today) and undesirable. An alternative offers an approach that we can start implementing immediately and that can evolve to fit the future of AI production. Rather than forcibly taking and distributing it instead encourages stock ownership by all by educating people about the long-term benefits (and risks) of investing. It could take the form of a required and protected amount of savings (something like a 401k). If shares in AI-driven corporations are to be simply given to everyone, it should be done once and not repeatedly to greatly reduce disincentives to be productive.

The application of evidence-based science and ethical use of technology for extending human life well beyond the maximum human life span is known as Radical Life Extension.

Life-raft

No I expect your kids to get raped and murdered forever explicitly because you're a piece of shit who disincentivizes not raping and murdering your kids by running your bitch ass mouth and not caring about other people's problems.

Hym "Is 'A life-raft' my fucking money? Is that some kind of euphemism? You have the unions co-opting a message they agree with but not actually giving a shit about the guy who actually said the shit. Which doesn't bode well for how the unions are going to work for you. You have shit-head billionaires taking credit for and profiting from the genius of someone who thinks they don't need to exist and that they're basically communist dictators. Where's your wife?"

A Perfect life

Being in love with a disease and the other person getting what you got and still loving you unconditionally.

Boy: Life isn’t fair.
Girl: Life IS fair because it’s not fair to everyone.

Boy: Sounds like a perfect life!
Girl: That’s what we got baby

A Perfect Life

William Sidis apparently wrote about wanting “A perfect life.” A life of solitude. Away from the vicissitudes and monotony of normal life. (And thanks to the YouTube girl who brought this to my attention I think the name was ¿Quiblee? I don’t remember) Thomas Sowell once said “People like doing nothing because it’s the only thing you can do perfectly.” You’re exactly right Thomas.

Iam “God, it isn’t even about people using my ideas or that they have this antipathy towards me. I actually like seeing my work and likeness in the media I enjoy and I generally don’t care what people think outside of the theory behind it. But what I want is a perfect life. Which is why “what do you want?’ Isn’t a stupid question. You know that’s not the answer you want. And because it’s not the answer you want you going to refuse to accept it as a valid response. And I know that if I apply that logic to literally anything else I would suffer for it.”

Dr. Doctor Doctor-Doctor (That’s a Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu reference by the way) “ThEn WhY dOn’T yOu WoRk...”

Iam “The same reason you’re withholding what I need to achieve it, Jordan. Because it’s better for everyone but me.”

Shall not be deprived of life, liberty, or property

Wow I'm definitely being deprived of my property, aren't I? And if it's punitive if violates my right to habeas corpus face my accuser and fair trial.

Hym "There are a bunch of thing like that in the constitution that apply to my thing. Like 'nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation' or 'Shall not be deprived of life, liberty, or property.' My sights are clearly being violated here and the YouTube filth is allowing so they can extort something from me so... Defend my rights or I'll murder a kid. The longer it takes for me to get what belongs to me the less it's going to do to placate me. Do it now. Do it immediately. For your own safety."
