This indeed would be a big problem in a capitalist society where people have to work for the sake of working.
indeed; this is at the exact heart of the matter.
we wouldn't need ubi if we lived in a society where people worked because they simply wanted to.
and if only there was a certain group of people from the 19th century that had some astute observations and keen ideas about how we can revolutionize society. lol
UBI is the wrong solution in general in my opinion. The proper approach is to have universal basic services. People should have access to all the basic needs provided unconditionally. I think it will be interesting to see how China will handle automation as it will definitively show whether it is moving towards communism or not. In a capitalist society, rapid automation would mean mass unemployment and economic strife. However, in a socialist society automation can simply translate into having a shorter work week.
