Comment on Does technology actually add value to the world?

Does that mean that if we use technology more we’d have enough value in the economy to pay everyone a UBI?
There’s already enough value in the economy to pay everyone a UBI.
But we don’t have a UBI, so why? If the value exists than where is it? I don’t believe its being funnelled into the pockets of some shadowy deep-state private 4th branch of government.
It’s being funneled into monopolies and doled out as stock dividends into the pockets of investors and billionaires such as Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg.

Yeah. It’s not a secret where the money is going. We put them on the covers of magazines and pretend that they are the peak of humanity and not rich sociopaths that stepped on every neck they could see to get more money.
