One would think people would have more freedom and will explore life far more than today and get into philosophical stuff. But the reality is messy. Imagine a single individual who leads quite a busy life and yearns to have some free time to be more "free" and do things that matter. You know what happens when that person gets whole lot of free time? They are not sure about what to do and it takes a lot to start doing something new. If this happens on a large scale, I'm really not sure that it'll make the world a better place to live. Maybe I'm pessimistic, but people would have ample lot of time to do more useless political stuff like manipulate, influence others for their own gain. There's this anime called Log Horizon which kind of plays this scenario out. Everyone gets stuck in this metaverse sort of game where people generally come for fun. Once stuck, people start killing each other and doing random things because they don't know what to do. There's no purpose in their "life".
