> I love the idea of never having to work another day in my life, but, lets be honest here, UBI is never going to happen.
The system will collapse on itself if most are jobless. You can't sell products if no one can afford them.
My biggest grip with UBI is it just redefines zero. The better solution would be to do away with capital entirely, have people democratically vote on what services they want, and then conscript if there aren't enough volunteers/robots/AI to provide those services. There seems to be this tendency to forget that labor is what matters, not capital. Capital is a means of exploiting labor, but if labor can be automated or democratically voted for than no one is exploited.
