That doesn't sound very appealing to me, but at least I understand what it is, right?
At least, you know, okay, there's a game.
The company wants certain things accomplished.
To the extent that you accomplish them better than your competitors, you rise farther.
It leaves you an income that you can spend in whatever way you want.

It's at least understandable.

And universal basic income...
I presume, will keep people from starving, but it ain't nearly good enough.
People have to know what they're supposed to be doing because not doing it causes them to suffer and succeeding at it causes them to feel good.
They need at least that much direction.
What has to be true at the end of that substitute purpose is some undeniably valuable reward.
That's the thing that will cause you to do it.
So not starving is a great motivation.
