Humans NEED other humans, this interdependency is what keeps us sane and functioning as a coherent society.
This is actually being challenged as people are getting emotionally attached, especially in Japan, to their robotic caretakers. And people for years have become attached to their pets, often using them as a substitute to human interaction.
Everything we think we know is being or will be challenged in the next 15 years. All disciplines are going to find what they held as fact is mistaken. This is in psychology, economics, finance, and the law.
...that brings us back to the advantages of a Universal Basic Income.
And the disadvantage is that it increases the power of government and people's enslavement. Do you want your income based upon political whims?

AS always, I appreciate you taking the time to respond @taskmaster4450 but.....
Humans need humans for much more than emotional dependency! Interdependency is created for the need by one person for something another person can produce. We cannot be individuals, living within our own tiny island producing everything we personally need.
The problem I fear with decentralisation of the human race, which is what you are saying, is that the more it decentralises, the more opportunity there is for a rogue actor to attempt to take complete control. There have to be checks and balances in play to protect people from this and the possibility that weaker members of the race get left out or left behind, we need a decentralised voluntary social network but this won't happen in a selfish, I centred world.
I feel this is a libertarian logical fallacy. There is always governance, always those who wish to be in control, to have power, normally linked to 'how much' they have. There are many forms of governance! Like there are on this blockchain for example!
AS for complete tokenisation, not going to happen. Who in their right mind would trust their entire worldly wealth to a computer network that is CONTROLLED by someone, somewhere whichever way you look at it!
WHats going to change? If a government or any other rogue actor pulled the plug on the internet, either in their own domain or maliciously in someone elses domain, you lose everything!
The future of the world must be laid in humanitarianism which basically gives each individual the right to do whatever they want, as long as it provides zero or positive effect on any other individual with whom we share the planet.
