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.
