[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are Tech Bros so obsessed with guaranteed income? And why does the media give them so much space on just about any topic as if these guys are prophets?

I want to work. It gives me dignity. I don't want some random dude with flip flop wearing short and a wrinkly shirt, weird AF, can barely make a normal eye contact telling giving his opinion about my life

Just why? [/quote]

Well, I would like the dignity of not working, because the idea that I need to work to live is ridiculous. I like the idea of AI doing everything, and I get guaranteed income to do whatever I want to do to enjoy myself and my time on earth. [/quote]

This.  IDK why people are hung up on the idea that we must toil our entire lives just to survive and spend 40 hours a week minimum doing so with very little vacation time.  Sure, if you love your job and get paid well or would do it for fun.  But vast majority of jobs are not desirable and most people hate working, or at least working full time.

You should ask yourself a question why is 40 hour week still considered necessary to have a job in most places, why health insurance is tied to full time jobs, while at the same time employers don't seem to need so many full time employees, so they lay them off due to supposed productivity gains..  Sounds like we aren't allowed to benefit at all from these productivity gains by having shorter work weeks/days or meaningful inflation adjusted raises.
