People who are specifically not employed because they aren't motivated to do anything at all don't seem to be the best sample for what average people could do if they had more free time during their waking hours.

It seems unlikely that the most motivated people are unlikely to take UBI; the most likely UBI recipients are those who are marginally employed, and likely marginally motivated.

You posted the edit over 7 hours ago and it still doesn't make sense. You should check what the U in UBI stands for.

What do you think UBI is and how do you think it works? Honestly.
