I am not sure if basic income works. But I am certain that assuming everyone is lazy and won't want to work if they don't strictly need to for survival is not how people work. Market-oriented thinking seems to assume this. But I think that most people want to have a purposeful life and achieve things. I do expect it will influence the number of bullshit jobs that exist to keep people at work. And it might influence the lowest income and most mechanical types of work. Which is fine if we can automate and mechanize those. But I don't expect a lot of effect on more intellectual work.
