UBI as an idea needs testing. Theoretically it solves an immense number of social problems (homeless/poverty) while drastically reducing government size (signifcantly less administration). There are also a number of behavioural assumptions that people are making that also need to be tested, primarily the assumption that people just won't work. What I think you will find is that people will not be forced into virtual slavery working for a pittance just to survive any more. UBI will have a net benefit on society. What UBI says about our monetary system and whether money is inherently just a way to control society is another matter.
