You videos are incredibly lazy. Summarize the key idea. Also you already posted it and it entirely supports the idea that UBI will be a failure as it will demotivate people to work.

Once basic needs are met money does not provide significant motivation and people focus on mastery which is completely separate from fulfilling a societal need.

Also you miss the key point relevant to UBI, though I am inferring you’re conclusion because you didn’t bother to post it, which is people will do work to benefit society once their basic needs are met. That isn’t supported by the MIT research. It shows that additional money beyond what meets there basic needs does not motivate people to perform better. That is a subtle but fundamental difference.

At its core society needs to do enough labour to produce the energy and food to sustain it. As you meet peoples basic needs money has a lower motivating factor.

If UBI is too high it fails due to insufficient labour to meet societies needs.

Until the answer is robots to every question of who is doing this ####ty job the balance between UBI level and required labour needs to be finely tuned.
