serious question, actually. Want to hear xo's hypotheses on how we would have evolved. inb4 extinction, women lack consciousness and would blindly follow males like dogs evolved to.

women wouldnt go extinct. but the evolutionary pressure would be switched onto them. instead of men evolving ultimately to seduce women (via providing protection value etc) women would have to learn how to seduce autistic hyperintelligent men. it would be interesting to see how communities would form based on basically however a women can manage to seduce an autist. it could be like how it is only reversed like the only things happening in society would be done with "feminine skills" (keeping things the same, nurturing, welcoming) instead of as they happen now, with masculine skills (ambition, drive, etc). so how would society work if it was reversed, ie if you had women driving society and hyperintelligent autists mainly just consuming off the backs of their feminine labor? fuck maybe thats our current world

Honestly, this could be the system for the middle class in 50 years. The poors will be unrecognizable mulatto orc hordes, and I imagine the true elites will be more reminiscent of the true aristocrats (multidisciplinary, sophisticated, uninterested in the affairs of the masses.) The middle class has all but been entirely feminized already, and the qualified men are starting to drop out in record numbers to watch anime and perfect VR. UBI could easily bring this about, without elevating the poors an iota in society.

How would a UBI sustain a "middle class" distinct from the poor if the middle class drops out of the labor force? The middle class would be receiving the same income as the poor. Initially, the (modest) accumulated and inherited wealth of the middle class would allow its members to remain relatively privileged vis-a-vis the poor, but that would not last beyond a couple generations.

Perhaps you are suggesting that middle class females would remain in the labor force despite a UBI. I find that premise dubious: the feminization of jobs capable of paying a middle-class salary may be driving males away from such jobs, but work is work. Females are not inherently inclined to toil at "feminized" jobs they do not care for any more than men are intrinsically attracted to perform "masculine" work they despise.

But even if we were to assume the advent of a Calvinist work ethic among middle-class women, the average wage for those women would tend to fall to a level quite unlikely to maintain a middle class/poor distinction. Upon introduction of a UBI, middle class females would not feel pressured to accept anything but "meaningful" work. Such jobs are necessarily scarce. With demand for those jobs perpetually outstripping their supply, wages will have a tendency to fall to zero. Today's unpaid internships and clerkships, which are already puzzlingly popular among the upper middle class, are illustrative.
