>>12768876People choose mcdonalds as well since they have no time, and their low status feels like the behavioural sink mouse utopia/ cocaine laced rat water experiments. Staking people into society could remove the causes of such symptoms.
My UBI would be 0% taxes, all debasement of the money supply with supercomputer algorithmic price manipulation backed up by a nuclear detterent.
Its magnitude would be measured by taking it 1:1 out of existing programs like employment insurance, child-care, poverty/homelessness management and, if the correlation supports it, healthcare savings from reduced crime and better nutrition.
Yes, I would be sympathetic to your people since these social programs are not universal, so people feel like they are made an underclass, which produces the symptoms of addiction and poor nutrition, stake people, pay it forward, universal style.
I myself would just code open source on innovating tech stacks and journal in the public domain, engage in community science projects that sprout up because people are looking to apply themselves out of boredom and no excuse to be degenerate
