That's the best answer!
> Back then, you would spend any amount of time, just to pass the time on something, anything vaguely interesting really. But now, you would spend any resource just to have more time in which to idly do things. But how can you just idly do things? Soon you will be dust, and the things you have done are who you will have been. You can ignore that as an immortal teenager, but as each decade passes, the spectre of your own mortality looms larger.
To get this spirit back, one needs to break free of routines and constraints.
When you are post scarcity, resources and time matter far less. You are free to fiddle with stuff for fun!
