People want to be useful, and people don't want to do the same thing for the rest of their lives. These are statistically true generalizations.

UBI would allow people to expand their career paths since basic survival would not be on the line. Personally I've got minor health issues from being in front of a computer too much, would absolutely love switching it up with a more physicaly demanding job if I had UBI to make sure a drop in wages wasn't threatening my family's basic survival. This also assumes universal healthcare.

"You cannot have both an opt-in working class and an opt-in nonworking class and have a healthy society."

So I agree, but I do not think it would become a real problem. If it does become a problem we could implement a lottery system that swaps workers out every so often.
