UBI is utopia regardless of AGI or any tech innovation.

Scarce resources is another myth. Resources are created by people’s cooperation, not destroyed by people fighting for them. (Think how scarces resources we 2000 years ago, and yet here we are, using new resources that those people couldn’t even imagine).

And if majority of people will keep believing in such myths - no need to wait for AGI, economy has already changed. To the economy of ignorance.

:confused_dog:

Scarcity is the underpinning of the entire economy. How is that a myth? The pie can grow, but that doesn't mean scarcity doesn't exist.

[aristofun]

The pie has been growing ever since the invention of a wheel and agriculture.

What does scarcity even mean in this context?

[sethammons]

Since scarcity is false, can you get me some white rhino horn? Supply and demand work because scarcity exists. Note: I don't actually want endangered species parts.

I can 3D print you a good copy of any horn.
