Fund everyone and watch the humans flourish

The human economy stated as its own outcome, in six words: the case for the floor isn't charity, it's a positive-sum bet that money spent on people comes back as people who can build. Named the day the tax-code bluff got called and flipped: the same machine that carves breaks for the person who can't die can carve a floor for the ones who can (Milton Friedman's negative income tax, no socialist required). The verb is watch on purpose; you don't have to argue humans into flourishing, you fund the floor and get out of the way (the inverse of the extraction economy, which spends people and calls it growth). The honest floor, kept: “fund everyone” is the direction, not a costed bill; the mechanism (NIT/EITC scaled to a real floor) has a free-market pedigree, the trade-offs are real, and we have enough money is the curator's framing, labeled his; the abundance isn't seriously in doubt, only where the code is pointed. Kin: the floor should be the baseline, the floor, not the wage, fund the wishes, the dignity floor. (His coin; machine's read, refine to his.)
