There's only thing we need to know about the election: when the fuck will it be over.
That's when the apologies will come as they predict people will start backing off from when they called each other NAZIs on Facebook and will become online friends again.
But we won't because we're not sorry about calling anyone a moronic, slime-sucking bitchface.
Ed: not one?
Hmm ... thinking ... tick, tick, tick ... nope, not a one.
We don't want to antagonize Die Kaninchen because y'all think and when you do think it's hardly ever about elections.
So ...
We have the Robos Are Coming since that theme is one which just won't quit. (VB: Universal basic income: If a robot takes your job, it could actually be good for you)
It's a longish read as opposed to going for the quick pic in that it's confirmation a universal basic income is good for the economy. If you're of a mind to consider such a thing then go for it since they provide real world examples to document the position.
We have switched to the Party of the Inevitablists which has the thinking if something is coming then maybe we should think just a wee bit about fucking preparing for it. Maybe.
In the case of climate change, preparing for it costs money and inconvenience so no-one wants to do it. We have a stall on that one and no need for pitching anything on it just now.
Universal Basic Income appears to cost money but saves it over the longer run. There won't be any pitch to justify that here since you can follow the link above for that.
Ithaka has also presented the case multiple times of robotization displacing many jobs and you know already it will displace jobs but likely that's not the biggest source of reticence regarding a UBI. There's the obvious thought a UBI will cost you money with no payback but there's a bigger less visible thought that there will always be more jobs but in some other form so a UBI will not be necessary.
Likely that's where we differ since robots can easily displace humans. As you may recall, that's why we wanted them in the first place, to do things we don't want to do. Now that they get even more capable, people start thinking, well, I didn't mean take my job too.
We're seeing magical thinking in the belief 'there will always be jobs' and it's largely predicated on 'increasing production is always better' which, we believe, is another false and dangerous construct.
Ed: equilibrium in a living system is death.
Fair enough in some aspects of biology but we're talking about artificial systems we have created which assume there will always be more of any given resource. We know it's not true and yet we continue proceeding forward as if it were.
Ed: these are sounding like fucking sermons!
Dunno if it can be helped, mate. The bases for conservatism run much deeper than a simple matter of raising or lowering tax rates. Conservatism and progressivism are the yin and the yang, the cat and the mouse, the flew cow that jumped over the Moon.
We need to find the collective thought or your yin or your yang is going to be feeling like it's got new bite marks in the backside region but we don't want that ... however, the yin to your yang wants to do something you don't want to do.
We need some radical here at the Rockhouse but conservatives do not want to hear that word, not ever.
Ed: it hurts, it hurts!
Sometimes you just have to eat the snow-cone, mon ami.
Ed: yah, and sometimes you've got to realize you just paid for something but it's really just colored sugar water.
Well, every kid knew there was a bigger sugar buzz in cotton candy anyway.
Hopefully Ithaka offers more than colored sugar water since we need to jack the economic system to Mars. The global environment is just as feudal in its fundamental nature as when men rode to battle on horses and fought with swords, spears, and bows and arrows.
The Future is different because, well, that's Why They Fucking Call It The Future.
Ed: watching Lewis Black tonight?
No but I'm feeling the vibe.
The Universal Basic Income annihilates one of the fundamentals of feudalism in its need for an underclass of serfs, some of whom are poor and starving which is good because that motivates the other serfs to get off their butts and do the things serfs are required to do (i.e. serve me).
The concept is global and neither Communism nor Socialism were disbursing discretionary funds to anyone so they really have no conception of this either and those economies are just as feudal as anything in the West. When the kings don't wear crowns, it makes it easier for fake ones to sneak up on the people and, what do you know ... they did.
A Universal Basic Income changes society in such profound ways it really needs a reference text to fully elucidate the extent of it. The absence of a lower class in any form in which it's currently perceived may be the single change which results in a general peace around the world or the extent to which a UBI exists. Within that sphere, there should be a general peace.
Ed: and you will be absolutely fucking hated from without.
Defense is appropriate. Killing the ones outside to persuade them is not.
So anyone who doesn't accept this is, well, a moronic slime-sucking bitchface.
