We are actively engaging in the process of dividing the steem with every post and vote.

The difference between basic income representing shares of the Earth, and Steem, is that Steem is an abstract concept conceived from my mind and shared with the world. This abstract token, STEEM, is now shared among the collective consensus of thousands of people.

I am not advocating a redistribution of wealth, but a distribution. So I do not advocate taking from anyone which is what you are suggesting.

I think that the concepts of STEEM and Basic Income are very good transformatory means to shift our world towards social system designed around post-scarcity Resource Based Economy (such as the one advocated by The Venus Project or Buckiminster Fuller).

I love The Venus Project. Thanks for the link @logic! I feel like everyone should see that movie. However I feel like we must give credit to Dan's post about UBI and Decentralize Identification for being way more succinct and concrete.

Well sh!t, if it's voluntary. More power to it, and those who chose to participate.

If you are on a phone or computer you are already volunteering, as of Oct, 1st the internet switched hands and became the property of the "investors", and you became a citizen of NWO- New World Order. From then on everything you do is the property of the owners, and for everyone to see and use, userfruct they call it.

Oh my, I didn't realize you were talking about Steemit specifically. I thought you may have been making reference to real world fiat currency. Now that I know who you are, it definitely puts your post into better context. Wow, that was ultra special of me. I'm enjoying the experiment very much by the way, voluntarily at that!

... "from my mind and shared" ...

To expound for just a moment with the first principle of mentalism of Hermes

The mind is all. The universe is mental.

We are all individual and collective minds within the mind of the all. Our thoughts are not purely ours but thoughts shared with thoughts of others.
Think the idea of STEEM is partially in this direction. Although not easy to explain or understand on various levels. I'd be happy to explain more in a post in regards to a question to lend me a direction and starting point of shared understanding.

Wealth on its basic level is an added value that is shared. STEEM seems to be an idea of low barrier / friction entry / start for such shared thought exploration.
