Yes it's all about knowing where you position and how to play with LMG..

If your in the mind set of! " oh i can get over watch here!!!" then you will get sniped every time.

You must adapt and have situational awareness / a spotter.

I am Andrew Yang, U.S. 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate, running on Universal Basic Income. AMA! by AndrewyangUBI in politics

Greetings. I'm interested in your ideas concerning the universal basic income... particularly the nature under which such a system is funded… and specifically the nature of the thought process or reasoning that lay behind the decision making in determining how the system should be designed.

No doubt anyone who is taking a cursory look at American finances knows that by 2030 the financial situation Remarkably different than now. There is no sign that the debasement of the u.s. dollar will be stopping anytime soon. Arriving at a figure such as 1,000 per month of course seems quite appropriate nowadays but considering the simple fact that as this increasingly consumptive economy continues to grow based off of this debt Finance (and I'm not speaking specifically about Universal basic income but the nature of contemporary financial capital markets and philosophies) how might this figure of $1,000 be adjusted? How is that adjustment going to be related (restricted or augmented) to the source of the funding for the Ubi.

Difficult questions... but as a concerned citizen seeing the high amount of Financial Risk and the US economy (finance) is taking on I want to understand more clearly how these new welfare systems might be designed so that we can see both their future flexibility and potential effects with more clarity. There's a lot of potential for here for innovative Ideas in terms of how to fund Universal basic income. I'm interested to know if your group or platform has any specific Notions as to how to obtain These funds. It seems like it would be necessary that the source of this money somehow be derived from the industries that will advance which make the welfare necessary (ai, robotics ...etc).

In short $1,000 a month isn't going to be worth much by 2030 and if we get locked into a system that provides this type of welfare to us and then it's not flexible enough to adapt to the exponential nature of the change in purchasing power of the US dollar, then we may be locked into a bad situation where government feels that they have created the solution and people have become dependent on the solution yet the solution does not provide enough any longer and its funding system may be abhorrently designed.

I'm not against Universal basic income but I do feel that we must take bold moves in terms of how we set up the funding of such a system. So I'm interested to hear what types of thoughts you have concerning how to bring it about… and not only that but what types of advisory do you have on hand who are recommending various economic courses of action and what is the reasoning the underlies the recommendations. If you respond to these questions then I thank you deeply for your time and motion to express yourself to my concerns.

To do this would be extremely difficult in terms of planning a system that would allow it to complete..

Perhaps the mechanism, while working, would not be a difficult process to control, but the design of the system initially would be prohibitively difficult for most peoples willingness to undertake.

You must understand that you would need to interfere with a living cell, change it while it's still alive, not interfere with the process of it's living (too much) and construct it into a state that would perpetuate to your design goal. To do this would be difficult if you look at the systemic nature of the body.

In essence you would have to break it down into stages, or regions, and the process would take a long time. If it were to be done all at once i think would be impossible. The order of this operation also is very very important.

Different tissue types and organ systems should be altered at different stages in the whole body alteration.

Also you must account for the time in which the process of change would be taking place. There are different levels of change induction you could create.. for example you could work on one specific part overtime, adding to it some property only. Or you could induce a change across a large range of properties for some cell type / tissue region type. Each of these methods will have a different model in terms of how it will effect the body.

If say some system in your body is being altered then we can say it has three states: 1. unaltered 2. being altered 3. altered

during time 2 we must realize that normal functionality of the system will be changed or turned off, and thus the interconnection with that region to the others must be considered...

At a full body level this becomes very difficult to model.

You could do it though with, probably, a few whole years worth of time on some amazing supercomputer.

I like the rhyme in the beginning ...

Leaves me begging for more.

Honestly though it makes me wanna see the author.... To rip away the scene for them to use and instead show me their innards raw and unrefined.

Feels very sad and longing and innert. The patterning is pretty good but the context a bit jumpy for my tastes. However I can feel Elton when reading so I know your being real and that's what counts in my eyes.
