Yes, we've established that like five, six, seven times. The point is that meeting whatever can be considered "post-scarcity" as an individual solves only scarcity. And society has no solutions for dealing with how to be a human being living a post-scarcity lifestyle beyond giving you pretty milestones like a nice car, a nice house, and 2.5 children that it doesn't know how you should raise. Besides of course corny religions and self-help books.

And this is why school shootings increase by the month.

It's not society's job to solve your happiness dilemma. This all goes back to your lack of motivation and negativity about personal achievements.

Society has no way to ensure everyone is happy true

But I thought this argument started cause you disagreed that being middle class was better than being poor

Camus's "Most important question"

The answer is figure it out ur damn self. I'm neither of those things and constantly working towards creating the life i want to live now that im financially secure. I can concede it's probably a lot easier for me since idc about cars or a bigger house or having a family. Video games, books, music, camping, animals, and nature provide plenty of pleasure and cost very little.

The answer is don't make me get the wooden spoon

Society has no job. Society just is. If I were more motivated to achieve a middle class lifestyle I'd still be miserable because society is useless.

My argument is that being middle class solves nothing except being poor. There are far more problems with being a human being than simply being poor and solving those problems requires you to ignore middle class lifestyle because middle class lifestyle is useless for solving them.
