Guaranteed basic income (GBI)
Abstract After three years of independent research--I have concluded and can assert with confidence that a minimum annual payment for a guaranteed basic income (GBI) in the United States of America must be $25,000 (2022). A federal minimum wage of $0-an-hour coupled with a GBI is the fairest way to run a post-modern economy and will become a necessity within the next 10-years as automation creates a super abundance of food and shelter, while simultaneously creating an uber scarcity of jobs.
Establishing universal Rights
How can human rights be protected and enforced by the international community when there is no consensus on the application or meaning of such rights? The majority of cultures acknowledge some form of rights. There would not exist a Universal Declaration of Human Rights ratified by members of the United Nations General Assembly otherwise [1]. Why then is there no consensus on these rights and what they mean or what they are? The reason consensus has not been reached is that there is no evidence within a particular society a given right universally applies. Without evidence proving necessity, then it...
Are human rights universal?
Are you one who considers yourself a global citizen or student of the world? The concept of universal human rights is where and how global citizens derive their morality and ethics. Without a moral rationality what does it mean to be a global citizen? How does a global citizen make judgments on situations like war and genocide? The importance of this is outlined in the first line of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights when it states: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards...
Transhuman governance
Introduction Where and how does artificial intelligence and political governance converge? What would be an ideal system for humans and AI to align with? Political leaders around the world use social research to inform every decision they make from whether to run for election, the colour of outfit for a speech, to which public policy ought to be implemented. Meanwhile, social media applications like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have enormous repositories of consumer data enabling algorithms to logically predict the behaviors, needs, and desires of billions of people. This dimension and scale of information about the human condition has never...
Nosce Te Ipsum
Disintegration. Everything is meaningless. Considering all potential monotheistic and polytheistic beliefs, at most this life we are living is merely a ticket to be punched while waiting for an afterlife. The universe expands beyond our comprehension. Each of us a single voice in a cosmic sea of trillions spread along a chorus line spanning millennia. You could cease to exist tomorrow, and no one would notice; except those who happen to be relatively close to you. Their motivation for caring is how you fulfilled some purpose related to their own selfish needs. Needs like love, stability, counsel, guidance, and companionship....
