Hmmm, at first I was like hell yeah have you seen the site Let Me Google That For You? And I have done help desk stuff in the past so I know how people can be. Sheesh.
That said, I'm not sure where to go from there. I think resources might not be as scarce if we all used them differently. And actually, even though I used to be very anti-UBI my partner has kind of turned me around on it. I do believe everyone has a basic right to life, even if they are lazy or I don't like them or whatever and there would be plenty of people who would do nothing if they could. But I think there would still be many people who would do amazing things even if a UBI were available.
Firstly, a UBI would be just that, BASIC. You'd have to work, and be good at what you do, to lead more than a subsistence life and I think that would be appealing to many if not most people.
Secondly, with the pressure of just sustaining your life off certain people, say for example someone who currently works two minimum wage jobs to take care of their family might be more free to pursue art or science or something they couldn't dream of now.
I do think it likely that technological progress could slow in this instance but I am not totally convinced that is all bad. I currently get a new phone about once every 2 years in order to keep up but if technology progressed slightly slower and I only felt the need to get a new phone every 4 years I don't think that would make my life less good necessarily. I mean there's a lot of variables here so I could be convinced otherwise but sometimes I think the pace of things feels too fast.
