To the extent that human happiness is driven by relative position rather than absolute position, this is not as meaningful as it seems. We all have incredibly more comforts than our grandparents did, but we are still a slave to the hedonic treadmill and the desire to keep up with the Joneses.
This doesn't mean that maximizing your outcome isn't good for the world — we'll all be able to contribute more. It just means it won't necessarily make us happier.
