But to answer your question if the 'typical' 26 year old is that unmotivated, oh hell no. My cousin is a massive (heh) outlier, not the norm. Yet they way you hear people talk, you'd think she's representative of the population, and it just isn't true.

I wouldn't call your cousin a "massive outlier". Most people will try to better themselves, but not all. Also, many people, given the chance, will come up with creative definitions of employment. We'd see a lot more full time influencer types, if there was a guaranteed income. A lot of people would do things that don't pay all that much.
That's obviously great from a human capital perspective, but not so great from a collecting taxes to pay for UBI perspective.
