I have seen many people lose their sense of purpose after being driven by money for so long, only to find that it doesn’t fulfill them once they have enough.

If fortunate, they’ll find love or create art once they are no longer distracted by the burden. But those hollow enough to have continued chasing numbers may find themselves incapable of either.

With UBI, you make this same problem accessible to everyone. Now, everyone can lack purpose, just like the rich. 

The only ones who can escape are those who base their work on love and art, regardless of wealth.

You could argue that UBI enables more people to pursue this, but in my experience, I have found that those with deep intrinsic desires will overcome any obstacle to achieve them, with a lack of income being the most common
