Just imagine what one could do with one's life, backed by an unconditional income! One could strip off parts of the daily worries; one could try out more things; one could develop ideas, big ideas, without having to fear that a possible failure risks your and your family's lives.

Today, only very few people with a solid financial background can afford to work on big ideas. What a waste! Think of all those geniuses out there who can't just afford to take the time to read a book because they have to work so hard to feed their families!

I also want to argue, that merely the knowledge that you can't completely fail in your working life will cause a huge benefit for public health, physical and mental. I would bet that many diseases would just disappear, due to the lowering of the general distress level.
