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.

Float Life

Float Life (noun): A state of existence characterized by living on a watercraft of any kind, often accompanied by a carefree attitude and a love for aquatic adventures. Originating from the shores of duhboat, where the sea and serenity collide with whimsy.
Example 1: "After quitting his desk job, John fully embraced the float life, sailing around the Caribbean on his sailboat, soaking in the sunsets and salty breeze."

Example 2: "The float life isn't just about cruising on luxury yachts; even living on a humble houseboat can offer a profound sense of freedom and connection to the water."
