Disclaimer: The purpose of this is actually a two-pronged attack. I want to highlight how absurd the notion of wealth redistribution through the form of taxation is while also highlighting the potential uses for a surveillance control state (which is coming). At the same time, if this took off, I'd benefit from it so meh whatever.
Tenet: Our society recognizes the need to redistribute resources from those who have lots of resources to those who don't have lots of resources. We do this through the form of taxation and social programs. This is down to maximize the utility of the society as a whole because we recognize that a billionaire's happiness won't be impacting by a lack of a few million dollars but an average person's happiness can significantly change with a few million dollars.
Well, sex is a resource. Some say we can't force people to do something with their body (have sex) because that is immoral but people acquire resources through the use of their body (labor) so taxing these resources to redistribute is an exploitation of one's body for the greater good. Exploiting a person's body for sex for the greater good is no different than exploiting a person's body for labor for the greater good.
How I propose we go about implementing the Universal Basic Sex is the following:
-
Legalize prostitution by requiring a license to be a prostitute through a formal process.
-
Have Palantir with its new AI surveillance system provide an estimated Sexual Market Value score for all citizens from 0-10 with 10 being no problems to access sex with people of their attractiveness or higher and 0 being significant problems (incel level).
-
The government creates a new Digital Currency called Sexual Wellbeing Coins. This currency can only be exchanged by prostitutes for real currency by a licensed prostitute and only if their digital wallet shows a transaction from a Sexually Deficient Person (those entitled to receive Sexual Wellbeing Coins).
-
People with < 10 scores are all entitled to receive some amount of Sexual Wellbeing Coin depending on their score with 0 receiving the most and those close to 10 receiving the least.
-
Sexual Wellbeing Coins in the hands of Sexually Deficient Persons can be exchanged with a licensed prostitute only for sex.
-
The objective is to ensure all people in society are entitled to 3 sessions of intercourse a week with someone who meets their level of attraction or better.
From each according to his ability to have sex to each according to his need for sex!
Thoughts on the details of the program and the sales pitch? What are some criticisms?
Hilarious troll, but if you actually want to reform society in a positive direction this isn't it.
You need to, in no particular order:
Outlaw no fault divorce. Unless you're actively beating your spouse, cheating on them or something similar, you shouldn't be able to divorce them in a fit of pique.
Outlaw alimony. This should be obvious.
End 50% or more of social welfare programs. If you can't leech off the government then the perverse incentive to be a single mother goes away.
Repeal the 19th Amendment. Replace it with an amendment that permits a family with minor children, or military veterans to vote. Anyone else has a perverse incentive to vote the treasury into their own pockets, and thus shouldn't have the opportunity.
Criminalize adultery. In a related point, criminalize false accusations of a crime.
Criminalize crossdressing with the intent to deceive others.
Criminalize homosexuality in all it's various flavors.
Criminalize miscegenation.
These things destroy the reasons why we have the problem we have. Because frankly the issue is women's rights have lead to a collapse of the social fabric and a collapse of moral hygiene, leading to more of the same. Yes, this would essentially require the creation of a heavily authoritarian state for several decades. Yes, a lot of people would be executed. That's preferable to endless decay and degeneracy.
Unfortunately, the powers in control don't want a better society so I'm trying to come up with something that can work for the society they want. A society where government and the elite have way more control and power while the power have even less resources. Making government bigger is the only way to achieve this. They'll never implement the sorts of laws you're suggesting.
