Please see my reply to the sibling comment. I think with the data we have so far, we have reason to be very concerned that this freedom from failure will be the defining characteristic of UBI. People need to find meaning, and with the very badly designed communities we have now (atomized, far apart, unable to bump into even your friends walking around, if you can walk anywhere at all), trying to substitute "cash" for the one meaningful thing left (work) may make things worse. The optimistic take in that scenario is that it really brings to surface what society's real problems are (they are not 'not enough money', they are 'not enough community', etc)
