Really like the text! Makes me think a lot, I agree with some parts and disagree with others, as I see it as a very utopian text. It for sure focus on the privilege mindsets who can shape this future and does not touch on anything related to 3rd world countries. That's a common patter on philosophers, and I encourage you to think about it. While UBI might not be the best solution for you or me, it might be for a person living in let's say Uganda.

Another question is to ask how do we move forward and build a universal compute that integrates everyone. If we start talking about VCs and so on I think we will miss the goal. Bitcoin as an example of rebellion, was successful, in my opinion because it was software (although it's mostly hardware at the moment) and everyone had access to mine it with any computer.

Confused about what universal compute actually would look like? Also with their ubi couldn't people just buy compute?

No UBI. And, probably some trading terminal for the vote-shares. More interactive resource input UI + adjustable smart device measurements for utilities and such for the information market for resource allocation.

Thanks SMA.

What is coming in Part II? Implementation?

I can see ways to start to implement the UBC: a laptop with internet access.

This is more of a brief overview of the philosophy I hold. Future versions/parts of it will simply be to refine these topics each with more depth and nuance.
