If basic income turns people lazy there is one unstoppable power that will inevitably turn it around - boredom. Boredom is a terrible state of mind that at one point will serve as the main motivator instead of fear of poverty and homelesness. I'd also like to think that being bored harms no one while hunger and poverty definitely destroy lives. For the sake of humanity, it will be a blessing to seek for work out of boredom than to seek it for survival and not to find it.
