If I work 40 hours a week producing the stuff that you and I need to live, while you spend 40 hours on your Xbox, why wouldn't I just stop work on Wednesday and take the rest of the week off and not bother producing anything for you?
If you are adding nothing real to the common pool by using up some of your finite hours on this planet for the public good, then you can hardly expect the rest of the public to use up the finite hours of their life to produce anything for you. No amount of financial trickery hides the fact that it is a transfer from those that produce to those that don't for nothing of actual real value in return.
The UBI is a magicians trick that fools nobody once the mechanism by which the trick is pulled is revealed.
