The Manifesto for Educational Universal Basic Income (EUBI).

UBI first and EUBE soon. https:// We stand before a historical paradox. On one hand, Artificial Intelligence and robotics promise an era of unprecedented material abundance. On the other, a shadow hangs over humanity: the fear of irrelevance. We risk becoming a class of passive consumers, sustained by algorithmic systems we no longer understand or control. The answer to this dilemma is not merely economic; it is existential. We present EUBI (Educational Universal Basic Income)—not just as a safety net, but as the necessary infrastructure for continuous human evolution. 1.UBI, Beyond Job Displacement: The Foundation of Dignity. Traditionally, Universal Basic Income (UBI) is framed as a countermeasure to technological unemployment. While valid, this argument is limited. UBI represents a structural reorientation of socioeconomic systems toward fairness and justice. By providing a financial foundation from birth, UBI allows individuals to exit "survival mode." For millions, life is defined by precarity: the relentless struggle for food and shelter. This condition perpetuates anxiety, blocks cognitive potential, and fuels conflict. Evidence shows that guaranteed income reduces stress, improves health, and lowers crime, empowering individuals to make strategic life decisions rather than reactive ones. 2. The Multiplier Effect: Facts vs. Myths. Critics often fear that basic income will lead to economic stagnation. Data, however, proves the opposite: injecting liquidity at the base of the pyramid revitalizes local economies. Trickle-up economics works efficiently. 3.The Evolution: Why EUBI? In a world dominated by AI, merely "surviving" is not enough. Imagining humans stagnating, sustained by machines they cannot audit, is a recipe for a dystopia where we lose our agency. Educational Universal Basic Income (EUBI) proposes an expanded benefit linked to active engagement in personal evolution. The goal is not to compete with AI in data processing—a battle already lost—but to cultivate what is irreplaceably human: morality, intuition, creativity, and systems thinking. The Human as "Reality Auditor"To ensure cognitive sovereignty, we need education that empowers us to guide advanced intelligences. The EUBI citizen studies to maintain epistemic authority: they understand why the system works and decide where it should go, preventing humanity from becoming "pets" to our own creations. 4. A Metaphysical Vision: Persistent Patterns. Deepening the vision, frontier scientists like Michael Levin suggest that living beings are persistent patterns of information in a platonic space. Viewed through this lens, education is not the accumulation of data, but the refinement of this "Platonic pattern." In the EUBI era: Work transforms from selling labor into the act of self-construction and service. Cooperation replaces predatory competition, as integral evolution naturally connects us to the whole. Lucidity becomes the most valuable asset, achieved through a balance of deep study and contemplative leisure. 5. Democratizing Evolution: Accessibility and Evaluation. For the EUBI model to serve as a civilization-wide engine for growth, it must adhere to two critical principles: Universal Access and Rigorous Evaluation. Learning at Every Level is not reserved for the elite. The "Platonic pattern" of every individual is unique and valid. Therefore, the educational infrastructure must be radically inclusive, offering meaningful activities for every stage of development: From Basic to Frontier: Whether an individual is learning basic literacy, mastering permaculture, or researching quantum gravity, the system must provide the resources and mentorship appropriate to their current condition. The End of Exclusion: There are no "useless" people, only underdeveloped potentials. The EUBI ensures that the path to the next level of complexity is always open, regardless of age or background. The Necessity of Critique.Income is guaranteed, but the bonus for research and creation implies responsibility. To prevent stagnation, work must be evaluated. Feedback Loops: This is not about standardized testing, but about constructive critique. Just as a musician improves through the feedback of an audience and peers, the EUBI recipient improves through the evaluation of their Circle. Maintaining Stimulus: Without evaluation, there is no friction, and without friction, there is no growth. The system evaluates to encourage the individual to stretch their capabilities, ensuring that the investment of time yields a return in lucidity and skill. 6. Governance: The Planet as a School. How do we manage this "Planetary University" without creating a bureaucratic dictatorship? The answer lies in decentralized, organic governance. The Guild Model (Holocracy) There is no central "Ministry of Truth." Instead, there are thousands of autonomous Circles of Knowledge. Peer Review: Work is evaluated by masters in one's specific field, ensuring technical critique and stimulus rather than financial punishment. The Right to "Fork": If a circle becomes dogmatic, dissidents have the right to branch off, ensuring a plurality of ideas. Conclusion: An Investment in Flourishing Universal Basic Income is not charity; it is an investment in global stability. EUBI is the necessary next step: the guarantee that while machines take care of production, humanity takes care of evolution. In its most ambitious form, EUBI transforms the Earth into an incubator for lucid consciousness, ready to navigate a future of understanding our position in the Universe. It is not just a policy. It is the foundation for human flourishing. A practical reminder: Humanity should, especially in the AI era, cultivate a plentiful and ever‑growing number of individuals with diverse talents and skills—even those some might call “boring.” In our potential to act lies great power, and we must not let it disappear.
