Some people would stop working altogether (but fewer than we'd think) most people would roll up their sleeves and get doing all those things that need to be done that they can't while working fake capitalism jobs (all those do-nothing jobs created to shift money around)

People put in labor to tend things they built and have pride in. Some might stop when things get hard or dreary, but watch long-term Burning Man camp leads, or gardeners, and adversity often makes people TEND HARDER.

Jobs != work Work is something you value doing, jobs are what someone else values. Imagine a cranky neighbor complaint that people never put trash bins back on time. No-one cares but them, but they could assign themselves this duty & take pride in keeping the sidewalks pure.

"this is my job, I own it and I'm DOING IT DAMN GOOD" is a surprisingly forceful human motivator, and people seek it out (see: speed running) If people can self identify through their work, they get pleasure from maintaining and polishing that identity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescott_Lecky …

Pride in labor is a *whole dang thing* which we've forgotten UBI is all "who will work the sewers??" but... Make a sewer worker guild that you have to work your way into, give them a yearly banquet, a parade, and a niche in the cathedral to decorate (see Orsanmichele, Florence)pic.twitter.com/lbd6yIPcPw

TLDR: UBI will not be a magical Golden Utopia, but people are already daydreaming about doing useful work, and pride-in-labor is a strong enough force to drive people to buy full-ass Donatello statuary and a celebration.

feels like view of UBI tied to view of human nature. 1/ we wanna be productive or 2/ we're looking to be free riders i think we're mostly 1/ w/inevitable small number who are 2/ w/people who 3/ wanna be productive but who can't, who should be helped. Im OK with this distribution

I'd bet that even a decent set of #2 start feeling very passionate about whatever it is that they do with their time, and will start creating their own work in tv reviewing, play-testing, or founding "The Foundation for the Preservation of Sonic Memes"

My objection to Universal Income is more along the lines of landlords would immediately suck up the extra cash. I'd love to hear an antidote to that one tho.

It removes a *lot* of location pressure. Theres nothing stopping you and 50 of your best friends from buying land in Montana and starting a new art colony.
