It's all good. Technology is getting us closer and closer to what spiritual teachings always said. We are one. And nowadays a day doesn't go by without some abuse exposed through a smartphone camera, or a leak of some sensitive information, or a whistle blower, etc.. Humanity is exposing all its ugliness for all to see, whether we want it or not.

Take Basic Income. An idea is spreading like wildfire today. It's really funny actually how we all pretend to be separate when you can see how information spreads today and how we end up all talking about the same things.

Hence, I'm not worried about echo chambers and any other dystopian scenarios. It makes for good headlines, but it simply is not possible.

In fact recently I read about this scientific theory of flow, the constructal law

> ‘for a finite-size flow system to persist in time (to live) it must evolve such that it provides greater and greater access to the currents that flow through it’

For this reason of optimized flow, rampant inequality is simply unsustainable =) What an optimally designed society looks like I don't know, and it might not mean UBI, though it seems likely.

"the future belong to societies (which are open to change) which liberate our flows" (...) "and also through rule of laws and governments which are free to change"

Could the book be ['Design in Nature' by Adrian Bevan?] (https://www.amazon.ca/Design-Nature-Constructal-Technology-Organizations/dp/0307744345)
