I also don't think it's a good idea at all. It may be a cultural thing but I'm sure most people in my surroundings will stop working and eventually even fall for substance abuse. I can see myself falling for that. Have you even seen how many NEETs are there? That would go over the roof. I think these UBI discussions are monopolised by people who live in a bubble.

I do not disagree, but I think it's also interesting to consider the following: currently there's a lot of suffering caused by poverty. Or by the frustration derived from the need to get/keep a job to avoid poverty. Those economic needs might have some positive effects, but they also push the society in very wrong directions. Also, for many people the reality sucking so much is exactly the reason that leads them to become NEETs, addicts, depressed, indifferent, conformists, etc.
