It seems like you're halfway to understanding why basic income is a good solution. The most common objection to BI is that people won't be incentivised to work

It seems like you're halfway to understanding why basic income is a good solution.
The most common objection to BI is that people won't be incentivised to work. But as you point out, they still want to feel appreciated.
So people will have to work to find meaning and it will be better than now, because it will have to be meaningful work, not just busy work.
