Right now, we live in relative bliss. We can lie to ourselves that nothing's really changing, that society is being changed by some subversives, that technology is giving us some new toys, but otherwise there's nothing really going on.
Unfortunately, that's not the world in which we actually live. And that bubble of bliss is going to pop at some point.
UBI or not, the coming mass drive towards automation and unemployment with zero backup, safety net, or social security to deal with it is one of the most collectively suicidal things I think any human being will ever witness, second only to "Let's create an artificial general intelligence without first assuring it will be aligned to our values"
