That's not that big a worry. People strive and aspire no matter what their conditions. We've got loads of wildly unsatisfied billionaires. There's no meaningful difference between them and 'welfare queens' at the most basic level.

In the absence of want, people will invent want. Supply all the conditions of a totally unexamined life and people will look to status, or acquisition, as if it is life. People will manufacture what they call meaning within the context of their frame of reference.
