    I’d probably do two things:

    1. Properly learn to code and spend much of that time developing open source software.

    2. Immediately move out to the woods to start a wildlife sanctuary.

    That said, while I’m a huge proponent of UBI, I definitely don’t think it could ever work this way (though I get that this was just a fun thought experiment).

    In actuality I see the outcome of a UBI as working class people having a little more time and energy to properly invest in themselves, either through education, self care, etc. Studies have shown that largely people continue to work (or better yet, start their own small business), albeit not necessarily at the backbreaking and emotionally-draining pace they currently do.
