In a world of UBI, and AI doing most of the work, how free are you? In every definition of the word. When we were all farmers, things were pretty equal, and power could be distributed evenly. In our industrialized world we lost a lot of freedom "effectively". In a world of UBI, and AI, you're completely at the whim of whoever owns the machines. The AI needs to be owned by everyone.

Does freedom matter when there's nothing left to do?

Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.[0]

Peasants[0] living under feudalism[1] might argue that the large scale loss of equality already happened in agricultural societies.
