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?"

Scam Life

Scam life is a series of lifestyle choices in which an individual perpetrates a multitude of fraudulent activities, mostly scamming, in order to achieve a leisurely lifestyle. Once this individual begins to reap the rewards of the scams they are now living the scam life.

Did you see Robert driving the brand new 2023 Mustang Mach E? I heard he defrauded California Unemployment during the pandemic. He is living the scam life

A Terrible Life

But if they have the sensation of being depressed and they adopt the elements of "having a not terrible life" you suggested but they MAINTAIN THE SENSATION OF BEING DEPRESSED... Then you're just wrong. But you likely don't care that you're wrong. Controlling people's behavior is higher on the hierarchy of values. So, that's entirely a was of time.

Hym "So, how do we demonstrate that Jordan is wrong about what constitutes a terrible life class?"

Student A "Deconstruct his premise?"

Hym "That's right little Timmy! We Deconstruct his premise. So, he has a list of things that constitute a good life. How many of those things are unnecessary? Is church attendance necessary for a good life? No. Is spirituality necessary for a good life? No (And Matt Dillahunty would be offended that you suggested such a thing). Do you need an education to have a good life? No. Family, friends, kids, or a relationship? No. None of those are necessarily required. Can you have those things and have a bad life? Yes. If your family is disfunctional and your relationships break down or fail it isn't a good life that you're left with. If you're in an incest cult and you kid gets molested by a priest or you and your friends get shot because a news influencer wants to wage a holy war, how good is your life? Sub-optimal at least. Do I want those things? No. What do I want? Credit for the advancement in A.I. and residuals for it's. Am I too complex to control myself? No. I'm I genius. If I'm to complex for ME to control, how could any of you possibly have any hope? You don't. You're trying to create a situation where people who aren't in relationships are subordinate to people who don't. If you're not going to stop doing it, your kids need to be murdered for the attempt. Murder them until you stop. Those are your options."
