The question of survival for individuals displaced by automation
comes up with increasing frequency these days. Perhaps task layer
multiplicity is a concept which can clarify our thinking to these ends.
In particular, if our communities depend on correlation-buffering
on all six layers that look in/out from skin, family, and culture, it makes sense that participation in one or more of these layers is a
tangible contribution. In fact, a "universal-minimum income", linked
explicitly to an individual's participation in such layers, might
serve as a healthy complement to the current system which focuses
exclusively on what you are doing only for folks who have money.
As with all such programs, development of tools to minimize draining of
resources by "defectors" will likely be a long-term and imperfect
process. However if implemented in a constuctive way, such a program
might enlist the support of participants from a wide range of places in
our economy.
What do you think?
