In the case of UBI, how would we differentiate between a previously highly paid professional (SWE, lawyer, author) and a pauper (janitor, car washer, unemployed).

It’s only fair that they would receive the same amount. But then how can the former category continue to fulfill their obligations?

They can't. Just like the steel workers who lost their jobs in the 1970's.
