Hi Hive account@randr10 :)
I agree that the UBI is a terrible idea - it's socialism/communism, and crushes souls and productivity accordingly.

I disagree that the world is better today for most people than it was in the past. I classify that as an 'official myth'. I.e. it's taught by schools. Real history books, and the evidence of our eyes, paint a different picture - of a past high technology, culture, science which has been slowly lost...

I suspect that the world has actually got a whole lot worse for most people over the last millennia. America used to be filled with abundant wildlife, and free people who had no taxes to pay, for example... Australia too.

The coming 'robot revolution', where all people who drive for a living (for a start) are going to lose their jobs, is exactly the sort of thing governments should be preventing. If governments were legitimate they would. It'd be easy. They could ban (or tax) them solely for commercial vehicles - which would work for everyone, except big business profits...
