Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

Inflation is not the only problem, and Musk seems to be unaware of the Austrian business cycle issue. If you fund all this by inflating the money supply, in effect by printing dollars, it still sets in motion a false boom and thus the business cycle.

Eating lunch in elementary school, I was sitting near some kids that were rolling grapes back and forth to each other. A wayward grape rolls my way and they ask me to give it back to them. I roll it back. Lunch "monitor" sees me do this and says "You. Detention. Now." I had never been even remotely in trouble before and had to serve my first and only detention in my school career for this heinous transgression. I learned more that day about how justice actually works than I would realize at the time.

Egalitarianism, the root cause of the evils pestering the West today, has made it so that 99,99% of people in the West will see this video and think “why is he destroying that wall?”, when this question is wholly irrelevant. This migrant does not think like us. He doesn’t know why he does it, just as the migrants in Brussels don’t know why they destroyed and burnt down their new football field and playground less than a day after the inauguration. They are not like us. If we keep projecting our thought processes onto them, we will go extinct and our civilisation with us. It makes me think about the video where three African rapists are asked how they feel about their victims suffering. They are asked again and again, in a calm fashion, but as hard as they try, they can’t understand the question. It’s us, who’s at fault, for projecting our empathy-capability onto people that are _not_like_us.

In 6th grade I was told my short story was “too good” to be in the short story competition and that I should resubmit it “next year in middle school”. (They didn’t want someone that looked like me to win)

It's misguided to make school discontent about being "130 IQ" or whatever because a below-average IQ child still stands a good chance of being smarter than their teacher
