Because UBI studies found it makes people perform significantly worse than without it. They didn't get better. Humans require toil, we require pain to function. Matrix was a good point to this. They made the world a utopia and people couldn't handle it. Our monkey brains require pain give us a utopia and we'll just walle ourselves to death. | ||

What UBI studies found this? (The ones I've heard about, I'm fairly sure, didn't find anything of the kind. Which isn't to say that they show we should have UBI; there are big gaps between what has been tested so far and what an actual economy with UBI would look like.) | ||

I've never heard of a UBI experiment that limited "toil". Nearly all UBI studies I've come across show an improvement in life satisfaction, reduced homelessness, drug use, etc. I think you've taken the "work less" that was found in some studies to suggest they needed "toil". They simply found it somewhere else. | ||
