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.

Radical Fluid Identity Theory

... posits that many of the putative unchangeable characteristics, such as race or gender,will become irrefutably protean in the future given we reach the point where it's technologically possible to do things like switch genders or race more easily & or in a (more) irrefutable manner. Supposed unchangeable characteristics would become patently changeable & analogous to the clothes one chooses to wear or the colour of hair one chooses to have.

Jolyne: Methinks Radical Fluid Identity Theory is a good idea. It'll prolly get people in the mindset of wanting to try all the stuffs. All the genders, all the races, all the characteristics, all the life, do everything, shag everything, everybody love everybody bruh.

June: Yo dude it gets me hype. I cannot wait for the future.

Reaves: Yo I remember the future
Celyne: NEKTAR NOW!
