You make a lot of random assertions here and speak with confidence about what is and isn’t feasible, yet your only point of reference appears to be a sci-fi novel.

The experiment of “give everyone in the country money for free to live on” hasn’t really been done. Maybe the closest was Covid, and people just ordered takeout, bought tvs, and watched YouTube, it didn’t unleash creativity.
