Would there be some genuinely lazy people who don't want to do anything? Of course, but they're still given the human right to a life without fear, & I truly believe the percentage would be TINY.
People want to create, people want luxuries, and lots of people want to help. UBI will not change that.

For every 10 hypothesis that are truly right, there are 100 wrong ones. If we accept 5% of the wrong hypotheses as being right, just by dint of the statistics, one third of published conclusions are wrong. This is part of why there is such a huge replication crisis. And keep in mind, experiments
