MutinyCrinshaw :negate:Thus, what is referred to as a "liberation from work," namely the modern increase in leisure time, is neither a liberation within work itself nor a liberation from the world shaped by this kind of work. =====You ask for a four-day work week? A 6 or 4 or even 2 hour work-day? Fine. Capitalism could afford it. We could demand it. We've seen studies that indicate <a href="https://ni.hil.ist/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI</a> looks positive. With enough organization & hard work, we absolutely could make those dreams come true.But it is too late now.Especially in the digital age but even before this, we do enough "work" in our supposed leisure time that it keeps the machine going. Long did comrades with feminist frameworks cry out "wages for housework" in the recognition that so much work went unpaid. Yet in Debord's analysis--& I think I agree--it's too late. Even recognizing housework as labor & paying a wage, the material basis of philosophy behind such initiatives as UBI--even the *recognition* indicates that valuation has taken place. Whether we recognize it formally or not, our every waking & sleeping hour has been funneled into the market.Yes. You dream of work. You dream of shopping. You dream of the computer. Their flashing light settled deep in your brain.Whether it's recognized with a wage or not, our every legible activity feeds market activity.<a href="https://ni.hil.ist/tags/TheoryMutiny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheoryMutiny</a>

small circle 🕊 in calmness<a href="https://mastodon.social/@unspeaker" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@unspeaker</a> > giving everyone enough of that to always ensure survival would allow everyone's actual values to flourishWho is doing the giving is the question.Particular risks of UBI imho are e.g. lulling people to sleep while AI destroys the entire jobs market, takes firm hold.. and poof.. UBI disappears again.Another hypothetical: Using <a href="https://social.coop/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI</a> paid by tariffs to hide destruction of gov social support and installment of a fascist regime.Related: Microfinancing was also broadly abused.

Some people call for an egalitarian society based on universal basic income, while others think regulation should curb the use of <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a>. … While, in partial equilibrium, they would benefit from AI as replacement of the knowledge workers they need to operate their business, in general equilibrium massive use of AI might be self defeating because it would lead to a collapse of the middle class of <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/skilledWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skilledWorkers</a> and therefore of the market base for mass produced goods. … If influence depends on the number of agents exerting influence ("one person, one vote"), AI will prevail and be supplemented with <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI</a>, provided fiscal capacity is large enough to fund for such UBI.

bsmall2> Universal Basic Income was one of the democratically and officially endorsed demands of the British Women’s Liberation Movement. But unfortunately this fact has become steeped in collective amnesia. An amnesia that may have started at the very moment of the resolution’s passing. <a href="https://www.historyworkshop.org.uk/feminism/the-forgotten-feminist-history-of-the-universal-basic-income/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.historyworkshop.org.uk/feminism/the-forgotten-feminist-history-of-the-universal-basic-income/</a> <a href="https://fedibird.com/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI</a> <a href="https://fedibird.com/tags/BritishWomensLiberatinMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BritishWomensLiberatinMovement</a> <a href="https://fedibird.com/tags/ToruYamamori" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ToruYamamori</a> <a href="https://fedibird.com/tags/UniversalBasicIncome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UniversalBasicIncome</a> <a href="https://fedibird.com/tags/FeminismUBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FeminismUBI</a>
