My critique of the UBI...

Distributing money is like handing out heroine, giving drunks a bunch of money and telling them to "spend it wisely", the UBI is going to be a nightmare for a lot of people. Maybe your heroine is OnlyFans, or DoorDash, or videogames, but it's all the same. Some crap to pass the time, to placate ourselves, to distract ourselves from our suffering, because we feel alone in the world. Surrounded by all these people, we still feel alone, because although we're connected more than ever before, we're not actually *feeling* connected or feeling a *part of anything* together. We're not "in it together", we're "in it for ourselves", and that's an existential lonliness that we can't ever solve with money because depending on money is whats causing the problem in the first place.

And this is why I'm worried about AI replacing all the jobs. It's the foretold inevitable end of the market economy, the end of wage labor, the end of capitalism, but then instead of ending capitalism we just give everyone a UBI? It'll just immerse us more permanently into the Matrix of consumerism. The heroine and the OnlyFans will only get better as AI optimizes everything, still focusing on profit and the quality of the product instead of the quality of human life.

The real problem we need to solve is that the human family is not spending enough time with each other, we're not having the conversations we need to have, we're not working on the things we need to work on, because we're all busy working for money and then throwing money at the problem. But money can never solve our problem, because it's not so much a material lack as it is a spiritual malady we're suffering from. You'd be surprised how many resources I can find wandering around homeless, you'd be surprised how hard it is to starve in America, but you'd also be surprised how much that is not what homeless people are suffering from. Every year I feel like I've got to carry more weapons with me, it's like Mad Max out here because of the drugs and the police always moving everyone around so there's no stability or sanity on the streets anymore. People are suffering from their families being disappointed in them, people are suffering from being called lazy, people are suffering from complex bureaucratic glitches and having their identity stolen and their kids stop talking to them because they're homeless and shit like that. They're suffering from wanting to work and being unable to, or being unable to find work that isn't somehow unethical. There's no "good work" left in the system. I don't want to work in a chemical plant, producing a chemical I don't think should exist. I don't want to stand there selling crap food to people that they shouldn't even be eating, with a big smile plastered on my face, when I know how nasty the kitchen behind me really is. But I'm supposed to be considered a more valuable member of society if I make money so I'm more valuable if I work at that chemical plant? Sell people sugar and bad food? I'm more valuable to society if I'm selling drugs? More valuable if I'm a good lawyer being paid to get criminals off? Or a court judge getting paid for putting innocent people away? It's a crazy life. Most of the things humans do wrong is for money, but we're considered worthless if we don't have money. Money is the crime we're all caught up in, that we all need to stop doing, and of course people with money will always blame people without money if they're trying to distract everyone from the fact that money is the problem, and that it's actually their own pursuit of profit that's making the world worse. In this system we're caught between being poor, or morally depraved. Neither of these choices are good choices. We try to make out rich people or homeless people as the bad guys but this is just another illusory division that money causes us to fall for. We need to stop hating on each other for how much or how little money we have and just forget about the money, and start circulating resources. There's plenty enough to go around, we just aren't putting in the time or energy to do it because we're all so busy working for money like a bunch of suckers. /rant

If any of this resonates with you get involved with the distribution network where we circulate resources for everyone's sake at r/distributionNetwork :

Also, still working on this website but it's mostly done, it's a more complete explanation of how the distribution network works:

The purpose of Openbook is to create a platform that can channel the collective voice of humanity, shielded by anonymity, and propagated through multiplicity and decentralization, to allow an ongoing unstoppable flow of truth.

Of course, this truth will always come along with the lies, the lulz, the trolls, and the psy-ops of the dark forces, but this is the mission of Openbook: to #keepthep0rtalsopen💬, and maintain the openness that the Internet originally introduced to humanity before "skynet" started to funnel humanity into the mind prison upheld by the combination of identity-driven social media and government-sponsored totalitarian surveillance programs.

www.ethicalconsumer.org "since 1989"

Ethical Consumer is a great buyers guide to being sure you're not supporting something really bad when you buy stuff.

I went there looking for advice about buying a tablet, and certain brands were recommended over other brands, while certain brands were singled out as especially problematic, but ultimately it said the most ethical option is buying something refurbished or second hand. (This was 2022).

And #fskynet💬 just for good measure ;)

This helps determine screen size. Useful when purchasing devices that only give the diagonal screen measurement and resolution. This way you can find the exact width and height in inches.
https://www.omnicalculator.com/other/screen-size

It can actually calculate any of these numbers using any two of them to find the rest of the numbers: resolution, diagonal screen measurement, screen width, and screen height. And, also, #fskynet💬

Openbook is Anonymous' answer to Facebook.

The problem was the mass surveillance.
The problem was the mass hysteria.
The problem was the algorithmic newsfeed.
The problem was that everything you said was tied to your irl identity.

The problem was the Ad Hominem Fallacy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

Openbook is our solution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto-anarchism

Crypto-anarchism (or crypto-anarchy) is a form of anarchy accomplished through computer technology. Crypto-anarchists employ cryptographic software to evade persecution and harassment while sending and receiving information over computer networks, in an effort to protect their privacy, their political freedom, and their economic freedom.

One motive of crypto-anarchists is to defend against surveillance of computer networks communication. Crypto-anarchists try to protect against government mass surveillance, such as PRISM, Tempora, telecommunications data retention, the NSA warrantless surveillance, Room 641A, the FRA and so on. Crypto-anarchists consider the development and use of cryptography to be the main defense against such problems.

A couple builds a tiny home for just $420! They use mostly found materials, and they aren't perfectionists, but the result is quite adorable!

Edward Snowden speaks about the current state of #surveillance💬 in 2019.
(24 minutes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFns39RXPrU

This video was posted October 23, 2019

He describes how difficult it is to tell whether a phone is spying on you. He says the only way to be sure a phone is off is if you can take out the battery, although you can also monitor it with a meter that detects radio waves. He also mentions that he uses faraday cages for his own devices, to physically prevent signals from coming and going.

He goes on to discuss the larger issues of mass surveillance; how "terms of agreement" have been used disingenuously to force us into this situation; how certain legal precedence has disingenuously forced us into this situation by grossly extrapolating certain exceptional legal cases to apply to everyone at all times; and how big data has become such big business that there is a lot of power and influence in motion to try and maintain this era of surveillance.

He has also mentions his recently released book called "Permanent Record" all about how this surveillance stuff all works, and the implications.

He also plugs an article that he wrote with Andrew ‘bunnie’ Huang called "Introspection engine" that goes into a lot of detail about one way to mediate these intrusions by using an always-on meter to detect whether radio radiation is going in or out of a phone. Ideally, the meter could be built into the cover on your phone. That article can be found here: https://www.aneddoticamagazine.com/introspection-engine/ - but it looks like that's just a proposal, taken from the full 16 page booklet that goes more in depth about making it work here: https://assets.pubpub.org/aacpjrja/AgainstTheLaw-CounteringLawfulAbusesofDigitalSurveillance.pdf
