As a result, they do not live in the present or the future, they live as if they are never going to die, and then they die having never truly lived."

Absolutely. And yet so many people are rejecting the modern technologies that allow us to build UBI ourselves. They'd rather just keep begging the old system to give it to us.
I'm referring to all modern technologies. Certainly to create new monetary systems that replace the currency oligopolies that currently strangle us, we'll need a data management system that is secure against tempering, failure, or dissolution. Pick whatever technology you wish to that.
We need to build new national infrastructure. It's the only way. The old way of doing things is abusive and exclusionary. We need a natural infrastructure that is voluntary and inclusive.
I live off grid
We barter
And if there’s a top up needed it’s done in chocolate
The only downside is you get fat
Then you get put on log chopping duty and it balances out
