Coasian rights
Use the Coase, Andrew. Put away the UBI. Partner with @NicoleShanahan as politician; the Coase is strong with this one
Coasian rights are the solution to both our immigration nightmare and our AI labor apocalypse:
- Coase >> UBI
Letâs debate it out.
Guys, AI is going to eat a shit ton of jobs. I donât see anyone really talking about this meaningfully in terms of what to do about it for people. Whatâs the plan?
For how this works, I wrote a paper explaining it in the case of immigration that has very little math in it (I.e. the underlying math is hidden by moving it from formulae to pictures) so everyone can understand it.
To make it into an AI free market solution, change Foreign Worker to âAI systemâ and the idea mostly just goes through mutatis mutandis:
Coasean economics is not only human-affirming in the age of AI, but is elegantly designed for continued economic growth for societies built around principles of free market prosperity, peace and liberty.
Amen!

Coase is you getting rich by training and liscencing your replacement.
Universal Income is you taking scraps from the AI table. Which will lead to communism and the death of dignity.
Everything we knew is over. History changed between November 1952 (H-bomb) and April 1953 (DNA). Well, it changed again between June 2017 and February 2026.
The average person is being taught to hate the tiny number of experts he has on his side who could negotiate this deal. Look up Coase. Understand your right to liscence the right to create vampires from your/our data as a SCALING AMMOUNT OF THE WEALTH OF ITS OWNERS.
I cannot believe that a tiny number of my friends and colleagues from my time in the bay area are just going to go for it.
I'm super excited about AI. We all should be. Don't just sit there.
Whoâs Coase
