How many potential innovators and inventors are currently slaving away at menial jobs instead of pursuing their passions? The idea that innovation is driven purely by investment is an oversimplification.

Innovation is not driven by humans devoting time and effort to figuring out how to do things better? What do you think innovation is driven by?

[aninhumer → yummyfajitas]

Yes, but "humans devoting time and effort" is not the same thing as "rich people investing money".

Certainly the latter can enable the former, but the point made above is that Basic Income can do that as well.
