Lecture Topics
- Chapter 19: "The Machine Is Coming for Your Job Next — How Corporate Personhood + AI = Constitutional Human Obsolescence"
- The book's central argument about AI: that corporate personhood doctrine and money-as-speech doctrine together create a constitutional framework in which corporations can displace human workers with AI while human workers have no constitutional right to their jobs
- The 28th Amendment's Section 3 as the constitutional response: AI as a tool, not a person; the Labor Displacement Review Board; self-executing minimums (24-month transition, five-year benefits, Community Stabilization Fund)
- Chapter 27: "The Trump Golden Age Will Destroy Us — What 47% Displacement Actually Means for America" — the economic cascade: consumer demand collapse, tax base collapse, Social Security insolvency
- UBI vs. the Amendment framework: the book's argument that universal basic income creates "complete dependence on the state"
Reflect & Discuss
The AI displacement argument is the book's most forward-looking claim. Evaluate the 47% displacement projection against the WEF Future of Jobs Report and MIT/Anthropic research. Is the book's constitutional framing (AI as tool, not person) legally novel, and is it workable? The UBI critique: does the book fairly represent UBI proposals, or does it construct a straw man? Compare the 28th Amendment's Section 3 to existing worker-protection frameworks in Germany (codetermination), Denmark (flexicurity), and the EU AI Act.
