UBI advocacy stems from the naĂŻvetĂ© and solipsism that because *I* am a deeply creative latent producer who is oppressed by my wagee job and would actualize my creative potential if only i could have my basic needs met, this must be true for everyone. Its not. First of all, it’s not even true for these “creatives”. If you aren’t creation maxxing while waging, you wont do it under luxury communism either. Creative work is extremely taxxing and your wage job isn’t actually that hard. The problem is your neuroticism and lack of discipline, not your job. All your necessities being provided for will only make you weaker and gayer such that you’ll make up some new bullshit to get overwhelmed by and then cope by playing video games all day. But worse because you won’t even have “at least i did *something* productive today”, which will magnify your depression. Second, luxury communism already exists for the bottom 20% of the population. All their food, housing, etc is completely covered by the state. Entire generations of people who haven’t worked a job in their lives. Do they go on to produce beautiful art and build companies? Or do they go on to get high and kill each other? The truth is that we are close enough to UBI today that most of the people who will ever become great artists and inventors are already going to do it, and as we get closer all that will happen is the people incapable of anything more than wage slavery (most people) will simply become dysfunctional parasites.
People are creative. Once their basic needs are covered, they’ll find new things to do with their time. There is no inherent meaning in the struggle to feed yourself or keep yourself and your family healthy. I genuinely don’t understand why so many people put slavery on a pedestal.

I do this all the time. There is nothing more satisfying than saying “I accept all your premises for the sake of argument. Now watch me destroy your position using your own premises”. It is the ultimate intellectual mogg.
One of the funniest types of high IQ people Is the "even if" guy He will accept any premise you put up and then try to wriggle out a rhetorical victory even from that position Trolling this guy is incredibly spicy

You have to accept that, for whatever reason, reality is a kind of game where things are almost never what they appear at first glance and the truth usually seems to be a paradox in which the answer is the exact opposite of what seems to make sense. If you want to win the game you have to be clever and see the solution to your problems in inherent contradictions. It wouldn't be a fun game if anyone could win, after all. So when it comes to soul crushing loneliness, part of the solution is you have to accept that no matter what you do, you are going to feel soul crushing loneliness. You will feel it until you die. Soul crushing loneliness is just a part of having a consciousness and the responsibility that comes with being a human being that has been given the burden of agency that cannot be given away, stolen, borrowed, or avoided. When you truly, actually accept this fact, and can hold the knowledge of this loneliness in your heart without it overwhelming all your rationality, is the moment when you'll feel the burden of the soul crushing loneliness lifting enough to begin to cultivate yourself and create positive, soul-enriching relationships with others. The acceptance of this loneliness makes it inconsequential to your movement through life, and thus frees you from it.
