I think you gotta be more fun about it. Kids aren’t gonna care about books and documentaries, they’ll be so bored. I enjoyed science through magic school bus, jumpstart, Bill Nye, mythbusters. I don’t know what they have now, you might have to do some searching. Stand up comedy is also good for social critical thinking and it’s fun. Don’t bore your kid into the wrong path lol.

Okay so what I really mean by UBI is the point that humans have successfully created an autonomous supply chain that keeps everyone fed and sheltered. AI has taken the majority of necessary jobs that humans do not wanna do, creating a surplus of resources that (in a utopia) even if 1% is distributed among the population, could be more than enough to keep fediverse software running on a server farm powered by green energy.

I don’t mean some fox news version of UBI that they think just means higher taxes and everyone becoming fat and lazy.

Yeah, this is no different from how every other social media platform operates. Unfortunately it’s just the way these websites make money to stay “free for consumers”.

The only (distant) solution I can see will be the fediverse, paid for by UBI and decreasing server costs (i.e. green energy and tech breakthroughs)

Thats the same reason I gave a really crappy company for leaving too. Not saying it’s the exact same situation, but just wanted to point out that people sometimes lie to protect their place in their profession.
