Initially, security. Then maybe a realization that you don't need all of your wealth to be secure.

Then why wouldn't I just stop working? Why bother working at all if I'm guaranteed to be subsidized by other people?

To give your life a purpose? To do something meaningful and fulfilling? To build something cool? To be able to afford additional, cooler things? To work on a common mission with likeminded people? To contribute something back to the system? To experience how things work in the background? To have a sense of ownership over your productive output?

And if you wanna express yourself creatively or just do nothing for a while, that's fine by me too! I'm sure you'd get bored after a while and want to make yourself useful again, so I don't think you should starve in the meantime.

How does it provide security if you're giving it away? Why do you need it if not working for it means you're more likely to get it for free?
