This is very low resolution. It has little to no connection to my actual pattern of relationship behaviors. And there are mediating agents between me and tax beneficiaries who distort things further. Look at patterns of philanthropy for a sense of actual felt relationship.
Without specifying to whom a particular life has value, it becomes an empty aspiration. You could perhaps treat your UBI as an initial and declining subsidy, like a rolling book advance. Badly disabled etc will need to be explicitly adopted by people/institutions who care.

Sounds heartless I realize, but making them abstract wards of an impersonal welfare system is a cure worse than the disease, since it is the excuse for creating most of the state.

Yeah this is the main reason I’m skeptical of UBI (even though on Net I support it.) you can’t replace family, and weakening family structures to create some state attempt at an equivalent sounds like a net loss.
