I'm suspending my opinion until I'm able to consider this wild idea.
That said, imagine all the money and value documents in the world. Do these not entitle their holders to some share of our future labor and finite resources?
Its funny to argue against an end to work in favor of a system where everything is already sold 10 times over. Your kids will have to work to pay all this debt for a thousand generations.
It seems (also historically) we can run an outlandish system just fine. We will make it look as if it works even if it cant.
A big question to me is how much of an investment we are willing to make in a future we never get to see? How could we ever agree about that?
We do a lot of things that we couldn't before. A lot of it produced loud laughter 100 years before.

I just imagined a completely silent typewriter that can write to usb sticks and perhaps print previously typed documents. I'm not at all sure about this printing. Perhaps all it should do is allow me to write - and nothing else.
It’s not exactly what you’re after but I love my Alphasmart neo 2. I can type on it, and I can spit it’s contents into a computer to print. It’s an excellent portable writing machine that’s been around for a while, and is quite inexpensive to pick up on eBay.
As a passionate Apple hater their new chips didn't make me go 180 but I'm certainly looking over my shoulder. I'm not going to lock myself into any prison but the idea it could be cosy enough to sign up is entirely new to me.
You are to ask precicely this question and think up variations of it.
I was just pondering how easy we dedicate our lives to a thing in contrast with how unpopular dying for it is. It doesn't seem both can be right at the same time?
