If we play this out and 90% of ppl are laid off and put on UBI. Just imagine how much better this world would be. No one would be comparing their house, car, or new gadgets and luxury items to feel superior to other ppl. Everyone would be on the same level. It would be a utopia, ppl from all backgrounds would finally be united together and we’d no longer have classes (lower class, middle class, higher class) we’d all be under the same class. And due to his we’d stop having so many wars and conflicts with other counties over race and religion and other petty differences. Everything would just stabilize and all of humanity would be equal. With AI+robotics that would make this whole transition possible. Thoughts? submitted by /u/throwaway0134hdj

I feel like Manna written by Marshall Brain in 2003 - https://marshallbrain.com/manna1 - did a pretty good job of exploring how this will go wrong in the US, and how it’ll be done well elsewhere by people who care about other people.
