»Durch ein Grundeinkommen könnte die staatlich verfaßte Gesellschaft einen Freiraum schaffen, durch den die Menschen befähigt werden, in kleinen sozialen Netzen gemeinsame Selbsthilfe zu initiieren, die nicht nur den Sozialstaat materiell entlasten, sondern den Aufbau von Orten der menschlichen Begegnung fördern, in denen die Menschen den Sinn eigener Leistungsbereitschaft, das Vertrauen in die eigene Leistungsfähigkeit und neue Formen des Umgangs miteinander lernen könnten.« Lieselotte Wohlgennant, Herwig Büchele in »Grundeinkommen ohne Arbeit, 1985 #grundeinkommen #bge #ubi #basicincome #eciubi2027

Recent data from research groups like METR and the UK AI Security Institute shows that AI task-handling capabilities and time horizons are doubling approximately every 4 to 7 months. It makes sense to push for basic income now, while our labor is still needed and we still have bargaining power. #ECIUBI2027 #basicincome #UBI

»Through a basic income, state-organized society could create a sphere of freedom through which people are empowered to initiate collective self-help within small social networks. This would not only provide material relief to the welfare state, but also foster the creation of spaces for human encounter, where people could discover the meaning of their own willingness to contribute, build confidence in their own capabilities, and learn new ways of relating to one another.« -- Lieselotte Wohlgenannt, Herwig Büchele in »Grundeinkommen ohne Arbeit« (Basic Income Without Work), 1985 #ECIUBI2027 #basicincome #ubi Also see: https://grundeinkommen.at/a/wohlgenannt/ https://basic-income.eu

Pope Francis on Basic Income: »The UBI could reshape relations in the labor market, guaranteeing people the dignity of refusing employment terms that trap them in poverty. It would give people the basic security they need, remove the stigma of welfarism, and make it easier to move between jobs as technology-driven labor patterns increasingly demand. Policies like the UBI can also help free people to combine earning wages with giving time to the community. « -- Pope Francis in »Let us Dream« (2020) #eciubi2027 #basicincome #UBI #pope

Bertrand Russell on Basic Income: Russell, author of »Principia Mathematica« and a founder of analytic philosophy, was also in favor of a basic income. He writes: »Anarchism has the advantage as regards liberty, Socialism as regards the inducements to work. Can we not find a method of combining these two advantages? It seems to me that we can. [..] Stated in more familiar terms, the plan we are advocating amounts essentially to this: that a certain small income, sufficient for necessaries, should be secured to all, whether they work or not [..].« https://basic-income.eu #eciubi2027 #ubi #basicincome

Why aren't trade unions promoting the green transformation more? A trade union leader explains: »But you have to understand, the union also has members who work at the airline.« Now we have a problem: if many people's income depends on doing the jobs they already have, then transforming our society becomes difficult. Thus, it follows: Basic Income is a precondition for a social and ecological transformation of our society. #basicincome #ubi #eciubi2027

»AI may become radically more powerful over the next 10 years. This could drive an unprecedented transformation of our economy, larger than the Industrial Revolution, but unfolding over a vastly shorter timeframe. It could bring risks, including large-scale job displacement, [..]« From the »We Must Act Now« initiative (wemustactnow.ai) Signed by dozens of Nobel laureates, including Paul Krugman, Joseph Stiglitz, and others. Given current developments, it will likely happen much faster than 10 years. #AI #ECIUBI2027 #UBI #BasicIncome

Most work is unpaid labour. »The truth is that a guaranteed adequate income for everybody is the only answer to poverty in this country« »If I were paid for all the work I did every day, I’d be rich.« -- Johnie Tillmon, in her essay »Welfare Is a Women’s Issue« #ECIUBI2027 #basicincome#genderPayGap #poverty Sign our ECI starting jan, 4th 2027:

A Post-Work Futre only works with Basic Income. AI develops faster then most people think. The complexity of tasks that can be completed by AI doubles every 3 to 7 month. If our labour is no longer needed, we need to »decouple our livelihoods from the ability to sell our labour power« (quote from our ECI). 29 September 2026 13:00-16:30 we have a slot at the »Post-work futures in the EU and beyond: Grounding digital transformation in lived experience« in Brussels where we can present our ECI. https://lino.lmt.lt/en/events/post-work-futures-in-the-eu-and-beyond-grounding-digital-transformation-in-lived-experience/ #postwork #basicincome #ubi #eciubi2027
