So, charity. Any economic system rooted in the altruistic nature of man is doomed to fail. Only rational self interest in sustainable.

It comes back to teaching a man to fish. I don't think UBI solves the problem of how do you learn a marketable skill.

Maybe a program where investors can pay to train workers in exchange for a percentage of their income. This would create an incentive to train a highly skilled/paid work force. But it also has a modern slavery feel so idk.
