I do think there are plenty of people who just enjoy creating things, but I've heard and read plenty of thoughtful consideration of the consequences too. The problem is that it's almost impossible to predict the full consequences of transforming society to the extent that the progress of technology does.

The idea of the basic income is to give us more room to experiment without having to worry about the financial viability of each experiment. It certainly doesn't mean those experiments aren't worthwhile or useful, just that sometimes what makes money isn't the same as what needs to be done.
