Currently reading this Makes a very compelling case that UBI would pay for itself. When people experience less resource scarcity they literally become smarter (perform significantly better on IQ tests) because they feel less stress. Smarter population => higher GDP

Oh, I read this one recently too! The idea that poverty isn’t just about “not having money” but actually drains your mental bandwidth really stuck with me. The part about people scoring higher on IQ tests when they're not stressed about basic needs was wild. Never thought UBI could actually boost the economy instead of just being seen as some kind of handout
