How emergence can lead to economic and social subjugation and the overall decline of the American dream:
If on your commute I hit you in traffic and scratch your fender, you miss your morning and make it up later, maybe during lunch.

If instead I hit you in traffic, crumpling your side of the car and puncturing your abdomen with a shard of debris, you miss several months of work and there is no making it back. You're path is permanently 'forked.' Life A stays on track, Life B bends and turns a new path.
Forks arent good or bad, they are just events where higher energy irreversible things happen and new states are transitioned into with new windows of possibilities. What makes a fork isn't neccessarily violent, nor are they discrete chunks of time. Its just a way to consider the
paths of life through the haze.
Id posit that however we feel about our free will, we are not in control of how we fork, our natures and circumstances (however determined) at most increase or decrease the odds of certain effects from certain forks.

If we account for the data discussed in previous conversations: The decline of prosperity per generation, the 40 year divorce of increasing productivity and stagnant wages, the de jure oppression, the entrapment of welfare, and so on we can consider whats emerges from it.
In America, land and property are and historically have been the foundations for generational wealth, the lack of access to it is a permanent fork of probability for example. Some can make it upstream, but the result is a climate where by definition most can't.
From these forks we look at things like the welfare traps, including ones centered around the presence of 2 parents households, we look at what a 16 trillion dollar deficit in house value means and who benefits from it. That $ doesn't disappear, it subsidizes the value of others.
The cultural history was centuries in the making, forming cultural expectations and it was only 52 years ago. Do we really expect that the economic advantage was really handed over? When no one person was a holder of it, it was a diffused benefit, did people give up their land?
No, people at bottom, who had always been at the bottom, merely got thrown into an upstream grinder, where a few make it up and out, most never leave the struggles, and failures get swept away. People in the middle had the subsidy mixed with their own real labor and sacrifice.
This is like money laundering with injustice. Their is no mastermind, its incomplete popular knowledge, perception bias, and the resulting probability of outcomes due to previous 'forks' in our collective probabilities. Liberals call people racists because they can't usually
articulate the sense of injustice when its obvious to them that one group prospers on the back of the other. People tend to use people centered narratives but in truth its just established economic currents, existing invisible bias based on observations of misunderstood outcomes.

Hence a UBI being step 1
