Universal Basic Income, ala star trek, is an option, then just let everybody make cool shit.

Star Trek has no Universal Basic Income. It has replicators for all your basic needs.

Replicators, which are universal and basic.

But is not income

It, uh...makes...food...uh...come in...?

Money has a definition. It is exchanged for goods and services. In the Star Trek universe, they are not trading replicators in exchange for goods and services, the goods are made by the replicator and services are provided freely. Therefore replicators are not money or income or anything.

Money has a definition, but "income" is the word used, and that's a euphemism that could be remapped.

UBI won't fix human nature.

If treated like animals, that's what happens. Observe the difference between U.S. criminal justice, and the Netherlands. Without a chip in your shoulder, it's pretty simple.
