💡 Imagine a world where your worth isn’t tied to your job.

1️⃣ What if one of the most powerful ways to reduce global poverty, expand opportunity, enrich each individual, and grow the economy… was also one of the simplest?

Let people move.
Let talent go where it’s needed.
Let borders open.

"In his latest book,"Hayek’s Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the #Capitalism of the #FarRight", #QuinnSlobodian writes that the rise of the contemporary right — both in its #technolibertarian and more #authoritarian strains — cannot be understood without considering neoliberal thinkers’ turn to nature and science as a buttress against demands for #socialjustice and #affirmativeaction in the 1990s.

"The book was intended as a corrective to the narrative in which the far right was understood as a response to the excesses of #neoliberalglobalization.
The idea is to understand how people who prioritize #economicfreedom above all else would find helpful allies in people who believe in natural forms of hierarchy such as race, gender, and intelligence.
Things like the present project of destroying the #worldtrade system are not explainable by simple structural incentives. It has a very strange intellectual coherence, but one that you can map out.
There’s a concerted effort right now in the United States to make the practice of scholarship as we’ve understood it impossible. It’s really an effort to defund #highereducation."

If the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can't exist, then others trying to bring it down using "authoritarianism is bad" as justification are demonstrating their own form of control, which I see as a form of authoritarianism. The US wants to control world trade, and looking to the US for trade can also be considered authoritarianism.

It seems that for me, if I choose to be a survivalist individualist person, genuinely based on hardships and effort in trading, then I follow the Chinese way. If I want to be a narcissist who doesn't feel how those poor people feel in the streets every day, making fun of others and using freedom of speech as justification at the expense of respect for others, then U.S. ideologies are better for me. It seems that the Chinese way represents real trading for me; it is based on efforts and hardships, not on control, vendor lock-in, narcissistic reputability, and brands.

1️⃣1️⃣ The Work Trap — Why We Fear Economic Freedom

🔥 For centuries, we’ve been taught that work equals virtue — but productivity, innovation, and investment matter more.

✅ AI productivity and investment-driven UBI shift value away from survival-based labor and toward creativity, entrepreneurship, and personal growth.

💡 Economic freedom lets people focus on what they’re best at — and what matters most to them.

8️⃣ Why Economic Growth is Being Artificially Limited

🔥 The biggest limit on economic growth isn’t technology — it’s bad policy.

✅ AI productivity, investment-driven UBI, and immigration reform can drive GDP growth rates to 8-10% annually — like China’s peak or post-WWII America.

💡 Growth thrives when barriers are removed.

💭 What’s one policy you believe is holding back economic growth?

7️⃣ Investment-Driven UBI Replaces Taxes with Growth

🔥 Why fund public services with taxes when investment growth can do better?

✅ An investment-driven UBI expands opportunity while preserving wealth. Growth fuels prosperity without burdening economic activity.

💡 We don’t need higher taxes — we need smarter institutions that build wealth for everyone.
