Data-Information-Knowledge Diagram

There's been a few attempts at meaningfully diagramming the relationship between data, information and knowledge, but I haven't seen one the same as this, so I thought I would share (click on the image to see it larger):

Today's Scenario?

"If 1 percent of the population own 90% of all the productive capital and land, and most labour to produce goods and services is done by robots and AI agents then how can the capitalist system work in distributing goods and services across the whole population? Again, how can the 99% of the population gain the goods and services they need to survive if they do not have capital and their labour isn't required in the market?"

With financial independence, we can choose how we contribute and be safe from loss of income for any reason (such as illness, accident, whatever). At a very high level of wealth, people have the equivalent of guaranteed income such that they can choose how much work, and what work, they do. They have the financial security, the financial independence, to do this. One way to help people get off the rat-race of pursuing ever higher incomes to generate ever larger stores of wealth to gain financial security, is to just give them than financial security directly via a guaranteed income. This is what universal basic income plans seek to do. Importantly, the universal basic income does not have to be only in direct payments. In fact, it is more effective...
