I'm surprised to find someone else who thinks capitalism and UBI are a great pairing. No one should worry about where their next meal is coming from or if they'll be able to stay warm this winter, and nothing should stop them from hustling and building something up to be worth millions or billions (but, like, pay your taxes).
I could see myself moving away from a full-time grind to a most-time consulting gig, maintaining tech skills and uptraining from time-to-time without having to give up my evenings and weekends. Stay current, low stress, lots of time to go fishing, still maintaining my professional relationships, no worries if the next gig isn't immediately available.
It really is a bit of a Star Trek-like economy. You don't have to work for basic necessities, but there is still a reward for putting in the effort.
