Personally, I think universal basic income is the next stage for social evolution.

They have experimented with this in smaller scales in other regions and what they found was that while a few people would become lazy and live off the basic income, the majority of people still wanted to work. But rather than take grinding jobs they didn't really want, they would often take low paying jobs that were satisfying to their lifestyle. It increased entrepreneurship and people becoming home inventors and scientists because they could afford to. On a large scale, they benefits to humanity could be enormous. It would be like leaving the dark ages and starting a new renaissance.
