> So you need to ask yourself, do you have faith that UBI will "free brains enough to produce innovation, progress, and further intellectual output", or lead to massive work reduction, increased prices, and increased complacency?
You don't need to know that yet. As long as you accept that work for the sake of work is not the purpose of life, you can study UBI to see how people behave.

But I don't accept that! And I doubt I'm not alone in this country. I believe that you are the work you do. If you spend the majority of time doing it, then that's who you are and you should own it and be proud of it.
