Only an idiot would waste their life on performing mostly repetitive tasks they are at best bored by or dislike, we work because we have too to survive, that's the only reason, if you take away that incentive/punishment then a person who carried on working for no reason would have to be soft in the head, that's not lazy that's just common sense, you have a limited life span, you dont stay married to a woman who makes your life a misery, thats not being lazy its being sensible, work is no different

I think it comes down to people liking "stuff".
They want a car, house, boat, a houseboat, home theater, sushi lunches, vacations, live sports, ceramic cat figurines, sexual attraction of wealth, and the list goes on.
A lot of people work to survive, but a lot also push themselves so they can experience things and entertain themselves. UBI alone would get very boring for most people.
