Despite being an avid supporter of UBI, I had to downvote your comment for the "stfu" part.

I have noticed an unfortunate tendency towards fanaticism on the part of many UBI advocates.

This fanaticism does not do the cause of UBI any favors - it just gives it the patina of a policy supported by mentally unstable crackpots, when in fact, a lot of excellent, well-balanced minds have advocated for UBI.
