> I just also accept that it probably won't increase overall productivity in our society. I suspect it will, but only because our current system demands a lot of very unproductive workers. There will no longer be people sitting at desks watching the clock and putting in as little effort as possible until 5pm. There are plenty of people on the moving walkway right now just coasting. With UBI people will choose their work. They'll be doing what they are passionate about it and will be free to move on to something else if they aren't. Cutting all that dead weight, should help productivity considerably.
