Personally I think we should be aspiring towards a society without "jobs" and the elimination of the pursuit of money. Is the primary reason that we are on this planet, just to make money to ensure we have the things we need as well the things that make life enjoyable? This sort of addresses the automation killing all jobs fear people have. I say great, the sooner the better because maybe it will ensure that the human species evolves. I have wondered what Australia would have been like without 41 years of neoliberal bullshit? Obviously I am not implying that Australia would be like star trek without neoliberalism but what I am saying is in order to achieve star trek, the country needs to transition to it. Bring on automation because maybe then when the profit motive has been removed from the reasons why we do anything, we might actually work collectively for the benefit of the species rather than the benefit of the individual. My overall question is, what would life mean without money? what if everything that we spent money on was provided to everyone for free? Here is a video that I think people should check out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4-3TKy2A28

Hey Edwin I just posted a reply to Senexx in the thread "AEP Invitations" that address some of this stuff ... But yes I think one of the main things that UBIers don't get about JG advocates is the radical redefinition of work. Bill had some great ideas on this hopefully I'll get time to get all this written down at the weekend.
