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?"
