The time isn't ripe for universal basic income just yet. But someday, something similar to universal basic income will be inevitable. It may take another 10, 20, 50, 100 or even 200 years - in the complete history of the world, that's little more than a blink of the eye.
All it takes is a critical mass of people losing their belief in the "american dream religion". People will only believe in that religion as long as they believe that they too are - or at least someday will be - among the winners of that ideology.
Mass unemployment, for example caused by rapid developments in the field of artificial intelligence, has a great chance of shattering that illusion to pieces.
So whoever wishes for universal basic income should wish for rapid mass unemployment, because that's what will change people's minds.
