If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time?

Are we counting raising kids? Because I feel like that would be the answer for the supermajority of people. It's super necessary work that society is utterly dependent on, yet we insist on not compensating.
Shit, we could just do UBI for parents and we'd be 80% there.
Assuming you actually are raising the kids. Plenty of utterly useless parents out there who end up raising other psychos.
Because they are forced to spend 50% of their awake time working to make other people rich. I'm sure this would get much better when people get the time to properly concentrate on raising a child and maybe even have time to visit a course on how to be a better parent
Germany does Kindergeld which translates to "kid money". Of course Germans don't want to have kids as much. Many Americans don't know what birth control is or how to use it (someone else on this thread is solving that issue). I absolutely believe that you should be able to take as much time as you need to ensure your kids grow up well. Plus, some kids are harder than others.
