>So why would I work? I wouldn't

But most people would. It's not that I buy into the "people don't just work for money". I could be creative, do interesting things and meet people without a job.

What I do believe is that most people are greedy and lust for stuff. Most people want a new car, a bigger house, a bigger TV and a new phone every year.

Basic income would cover my needs and your needs. For most people it won't be enough to get the level of comfort and luxury they want.
