> I think that even if we implement basic income, I think after a little while we'll all be back to work.

The point of a basic income is that people will go back to work on things they're truly passionate about, without fear of becoming homeless.

e.g. a mailroom worker might be really passionate about woodworking, but isn't skilled enough (or confident enough) to make it his profession. With a basic income, he might decide that he can make a go at woodworking without starving to death.

I get that's the point, I just don't see it being politically feasible until after the other thing does.
