Requires that the consumers have enough purchasing power to f to buy what is produced.

And I believe that this will be an economy that will take us hopefully in the next 10, 15, 20 years and forever.

But that's not guaranteed.

Why?

Because on one side, if UBI replaces purchasing power, so if people have to get an income from the government,

which is basically taxes collected from those using AI and robots to to make things.

the then the mindset of capitalism, labor arbitrage, means those people are not producing anything and they're costing me money.

Why don't we pay them less and less, and maybe even not pay them at all?

And that becomes Elysium.

Where you basically say, you know, we sit somewhere protected from everyone.

We have the machines do all of our work, and those need to worry about themselves.

We're not gonna pay them UBI anymore.

Right.

And and you have to imagine, huh?

This idea of UBI assumes this very democratic, caring society.

UBI in itself is communism.

Think of the ideology between at least socialism

The ideology of giving everyone what they need, that's not the capitalist.

democratic society that the West advocates.

So those transitions are massive in magnitude.
