If every product had an infinite warranty, waste would vanish, markets would focus on real needs, and UBI would become cheap enough to fund easily.
I call this the The Infinite Warranty Principle / The Warranty Abundance Theorem.

How it works in 4 steps:
1️⃣ Warranty lengths double until they reach “forever”
2️⃣ Planned obsolescence dies, products become repairable/adaptable
3️⃣ Markets shift to serving real demand, not manufacturing it
4️⃣ Social safety nets (like UBI) become affordable, because artificial scarcity vanishes
@prau You’re most certainly right — most dreams won’t come true. But we can still reenact some of them in waking life.
Also, sorry to say, but I couldn’t make sense of the abbreviation UBU in this context.
