I think the world would be a pretty awesome place if everyone's biggest problem was that all their basic needs were met and they were maybe kinda bored from all the pleasure and excitement of their lives.

People are suffering and dying needlessly, literally every minute. I'll take some existential angst born from hedonism over that any day.

Hear hear! It’s the epitome of privilege when people come up with sci fi stories about how shitty a world without struggle would be. I don’t think anyone who isn’t in like the global top 5% economically could come up with such an absurd concept.
