Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the economy, boosting productivity while simultaneously threatening widespread job displacement. As AI progresses, a growing number of workers face unemployment or precarious employment, fueling political pressure for Universal Basic Income (UBI)—typically understood as unconditional payments aiming to guarantee a basic standard of living.
However, behind this policy response lies a fundamental truth: income provided by UBI is redistributed wealth, funded predominantly by taxing others. Taken to its fullest extent, this scenario envisions UBI becoming the total income for many individuals, fundamentally transforming the economy’s reliance from earned wages toward government transfers.
Traditional UBI proponents emphasize unconditional, unrestricted payments that uphold dignity and autonomy by letting recipients decide how to allocate funds. Yet, as more recipients rely entirely on UBI, governments develop incentives to condition or control spending to ensure funds are used “appropriately” on essentials like food, housing, or healthcare. This urge shifts UBI away from unconditional cash to a conditional benefit—introducing a powerful mechanism for centralized control.
This shift often involves digital platforms and payment channels that tie disbursement to monitored transactions. Here lies the connection to Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). CBDCs are digital currencies issued by central banks with features that allow:
Real-time monitoring of every transaction, Restriction of spending categories, and Immediate freezing or withdrawal of funds on policy breaches. Together, conditional UBI schemes and CBDCs form comprehensive financial surveillance infrastructures, akin to models already tested worldwide. This emerging economic governance framework could severely limit financial autonomy, erode privacy, and enable government-imposed behavioral controls dictating permissible expenditures.

“And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!” “~ Revelation 6:15-16
Their efforts to protect themselves are in vain.

“Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we all be worried?”
“...Then there is the speculation around other tech leaders, some of whom appear to have been busy buying up chunks of land with underground spaces, ripe for conversion into multi-million pound luxury bunkers.
Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn, has talked about “apocalypse insurance”. This is something about half of the super-wealthy have, he has previously claimed, with New Zealand a popular destination for homes...”
