I have dabbled for a bit in social work associations (some sponsored by local authorities, some not) and if it's a myth that basic income would allow our strawman to become a (good) (and successful) (and well paid) writer it's also a myth that most people would chose to try that. Most would/could just go on being useful to their communities. Many jobless people are still doing things everyday, they just don't get paid for it.
