Well articulated ...but policy requires a) arduous politics, partisan commitments, elections and an apparatus that so many, especially younger people, find rebarbative; b) detailed, patient examination of options, paperwork, bureaucracy, expertise. Social security is necessary complicated and no amount of wishing for radical simplicity (universal basic income) will remove it. So, alongside the case for policy - so well made here - a parallel case has to be made for the preconditions and correlates of policy

These policies and the life situations they engender will grow so much more common, widespread, and more dire in so many lives because of the insane rush to AI assisted everything, human cost be damned. Unless we can create a society of greater equity in the distribution of social profit and fairness in tax paying policy.
