I would agree that how we give meaning to our life is a very important question. Valuing paid employment over the choice to parent or care for other friends and family may play a part in how women (in their frequent role as primary caregivers) are seen. Basic income can help creators, artists, entrepreneurs, mentors, and those involved in non-profits have the time and energy to not only live their dreams, but make the efforts of those talented and dedicated people more available to us.
I think it is likely that any effort "to face potential issues humanely, rationally, and as soon as possible" (which I agree is needed) will continue to be stymied by an apparent movement, crossing different levels of our society, to let people seen as non-productive, or unnecessary to the success of the rich, die off as the social safety nets are removed piece by piece, and often, in the cruelest ways possible.
