To be fair, a lot of the UBI supporters commenting above are making similar assumptions. They think of the freedom that UBI would create for them as generally well educated, smart, creative people. In reality I'm willing to bet we would end up with Idiocracy after a generation or two, not a creative utopia.

Logical fallacy or not, people still have the ability to make choices the choices in life that lead to success (or failure).

I'd argue that poverty is the result of complacency and contentment more so than any other factor.
