Personally, I think this is a big part of the reason UBI will work. Most people want to do something, and generally want to feel productive. How many stories have you heard about unhappy office drones leaving a job where they spent all their time on the internet to something more rewarding? But where will this productive energy go? Plenty of people will still have jobs, likely doing something more in line with their interests. Others will volunteer their time and participate in the community. I think lots of people would love to spend more time mentoring young people, being with their families, etc. It could be a revolution in community participation and lead to a more healthy society. Satisfying and productive work doesn't need to be paid work.
