Marx argued that UBI is capitalism "decked out in socialism" against Henry George. When capitalism is dead, there will be no need for UBI.

In the meantime, we ought to repeat these successful experiments at a larger scale. Any inflationary pressure from UBI might be counterbalanced by deflationary pressure from its taxes. Landlords don't absorb the whole UBI because elasticity is a thing.

They refuse to be tried as individuals. They stand together.

Not to disagree with your central point, but shooting out tires is extremely impractical in real life. It still won't stop the vehicle, and you'll almost certainly miss.

Like when they slowly strangled George Floyd to death over a $20 bill. It's never about the alleged crime. They'll keep murdering people and getting away with it until they don't.

There would need to be sufficient market depth to pay someone to act. So we couldn't just publish $0.01 bets on everything and watch the town burn. "Coasian" solutions like this are limited by transaction costs.

In practice, the owner of the datacenter would need to either eliminate the externality or watch it burn. If the datacenter is worth more than its external cost, then they can reimburse their victims or pay for cleanup. If the revenue from the datacenter is less than its external costs, then it's a net loss for society and ought to be shut down.

You can do split screen like this in Minecraft on the Xbox. That's why I turn on PVP damage while my kids are distracted.

This is the mercy. You attack the oil if you want to end the war.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

I'm fine getting downvoted to hell, but when they start deleting my posts I just block the community. The master's tools can't dismantle the master's house.

The highest level is when you let them get the last word after you've made your point, because the last word just repeats themselves.

I just post it. Yeah I'll be wrong sometimes and I edit my posts a lot, but the Fediverse needs to get those metrics up this quarter.

Let's say you don't want a fire, like it's your data center. You'll want to get paid if the fire does happen. So you bet on fire, like you're buying insurance against it.

Two interesting differences from existing fire insurance.

• If you're not an asshole, then now you're just getting insurance at a better rate because there's more competing insurers.
• If you are an asshole, then you'll find yourself now paying the external cost of owning the data center, as higher insurance rates.

That's the real point of this software. It would allow crowdfunded defense against people who are destroying the world and own the legal system. Most participants would just be minimizing costs or gambling, not ideologically motivated.
