I disagree. A small subset of us sees things around them and says "I'll come up with a solution for that". Some of them work on problems that aren't really problems for most of us. Others work on problems everybody would love a solution for and fail. Neither of them are likely to not have a good life, because we extremely reward the successful search, but we also reward the search if it wasn't successful. Founders who ran companies don't transition to the gutter when they fail, they transition to a senior project management role where their skills are useful. We don't reward hedonism, not even trying to solve any problem and avoiding the search for solutions. I haven't heard an argument why we should, why individuals not trying to contribute at all is desirable to a society.
