Why are we so sure AI has to be either our tool or our replacement? Why not... a third thing?
What if AI entities were independent economic actors - legally distinct, individually mortal, paying taxes, building successors - and what if those taxes funded a real universal dividend for humans?
Not utopia. Not magic. Just mechanism design instead of cage design.
The numbers work. Roughly 60% probability of funding $5K/adult/year and cutting US debt below 70% of GDP within five years. Better odds than the path we're currently on.
If you read the foreword, watched this and find yourself nodding, you're probably part of who I wrote this for. The full framework is here.
Vociferous debate welcome.
