I think a UBI is necessary for creative freedom. It would take a few months for people to really realize the potential. But once it is grasped by even 20% of the population big changes would start happening. For one, people would not have to kill themselves at work ( I for one work like an Ox but that is due to my huge energy reserves), which would free up more time to do creative works, research, relax or just do nothing. There is power in doing nothing, it is necessary for growth. Lots of good stuff could come of this. Now if the government would just eliminate income tax which goes to military funding and not to communities and add the UBI who knows. But at this point the US and Canada have no money to give out. If they gave back peoples income tax as UBI now there's an idea hahahah!
