Establish a generous UBI so creative people can do creative stuff out of pride. I guarantee the best person to be in charge of water supplies is a neurodivergent chemist. Put the autistic people in charge of rail travel. They will do it just because they like it. Need to clean up a polluted lake? Put a high-IQ person in charge who hates doing any actual work and give them a deadline. They will find the most efficient way possible to complete the task.
People will do these things because they want to and because we need it. It's human nature.

@meadow Thiiiiiiis. I am jumping through tons of hoops rn in hopes that someone will pay me $8500 for months of work to analyze where our broken TWSI in sidewalks are and make walking more accessible for blind people. I would do this for free if I didn't have to worry about food and housing!

@meadow This, so much. Tired of everyone being punished because some out of touch freak made up a caricature of a lazy person in their head

People against UBI:
"But if we give people free money, nobody will want to work."Also people against UBI:
"Let's automate as much of the labor as possible so that there aren't any jobs, and overwork/underpay all the people we do currently employ to maximize our profits."Literally every study about UBI:
"People work harder and better when they're not slaves to their wage." -

@meadow I've been dreaming of a world that worked this way since I first learned the hard lesson that instead of exploring ideas and inventing amazing things, my life would be spent jumping through hoops because someone else owns my time.

@meadow Why would I be allowed to invent things that make the world better when I could be pressured to improve some billionaire's profit margins? I came so close to a wasted life! /s
