27 days agoI was banned for a while, saying that NATO countries should declare war on Russia and kill Putin. That was a political news Reddit, and the topic was about Russia’s Shadow Fleets and sabotage operations. War, the consideration and advocation, is an inherently political thing.
Reddit would say that Churchill wanting to fight Nazi Germany is advocating for violence. While technically true, it misses the fact that sometimes words cannot broker peace nor civility.
I would initially do the experimental city as an Eve Online styled MMO - but with multiple servers, each with a specific type of government and economic rule. After a couple years of letting each server’s population fill up and learn their niche, create a ‘hub’ server, where players of the OG servers can start with a territory and compete. Doing it this way, it would make it easier to remove outside factors like geography, pre-existing wealth, unfamiliarity with UBI, and so forth.
The way I figure, it would be easier to track success and population metrics with a wholly artificial reality, then use the insights from that to inform how to structure a realworld UBI Island.
