"All of the buildings, all of the cars were once just a dream in somebody's head." Peter Gabriel, Mercy Street. Basic income pushes to raise the floor, but its more than that. It's more than that because of how it's done.

By being unconditional first it says "this is yours. You should have this. We trust you." That's powerful. It's not "prove yourself!" or "get in line with the rest of them."
