Nice work! I really like the Eric Fromm article you shared. Specifically, the UBI to unlimited sweets comparison. I'm really excited to read your article on time inequality! I wonder if we have begun the transition from a capital-focused economy to a time-focused economy.
& it's the wildest thing, from 1830 - 1930, we already had a time-focused economy! Leisure time for all was widely agreed upon as the great benefit that industrial capitalism would deliver. The past 50 years have been a strong deviation from that historical trend. Hopefully we'll find our way back to that understanding, boosted by a new set of technologies and capacities.
