The Universal Basic Income does make sense effectively.
In fact, why can't there be a society where people do not need to work jobs they don't like?
Even nowdays, many people are into "unusual" type of activities: I can think of artists, craft people, sport people, writers, animal carers, many solo entrepreneurs. Also, this type of society would need many researchers.
And think of all the aspiring traders who can't get in trading because work gets in the way : now they won't need to worry about a job, and they will be able to be totally dedicated to their passion.
