This is one possible outcome -- but this is FAR from a revolt.

Just as likely is the outcome where Basic Income cattle is herded into cheap everything arrangements, where they're offered "fun and fulfilling" work for non-market pay. These humans will be entirely economically detached. The overlords will reap their Basic Income, and allow them to live month by month. (note: this already happens, you walk in a Hyundai/Samsung build appartment block, where Lotte runs all the supermarkets, and all the entertainment is provided by CJ, Koreans don't fear big-corps, so they don't hide it, but I think this is probably true in many places of the world)

Or, as in the amazing Cloud Atlas, we will create a caste-like society with "producers", "consumers" and perhaps some other groups ("politicians"? "Celebrities"?).

We may move from 99% to 99.9% puppets. It's just a way to generalize the population, to silence the masses, to present happiness and freedom to be guaranteed for all. Without alarm the watchers will turn to sleep, and under that dark moon the world will change.

Simply put, it solves some problems but not all of them. BI can potentially worsen the situation.

I think the immediate gain of guaranteed personal freedoms; freedom from labor, freedom to self-improve, freedom to perform altruism, freedom to perform art, and yes, even freedom to party, are worth a great deal. Yet, it will create a future where nobody is willing to revolt, and the state is in even further reaching control.

It also just upsets my minimal-government-preference somewhat. I just don't like the idea of people living off of money I earned. It only makes sense because money is already an abstract and perverted item, and because basic needs will soon drop much further in their cost. (Especially if cheap living becomes a greater priority)
