Well, going back to what we said about productivity. People are happier when they have something to do, but some unpleasant people would refuse to do do anyway. If we had some way of directing people into fulfilling some need, or the perception of a need, they might feel happier for it.

Or even giving people a way to act out and resist safely, if we can’t make them productive for society.

Did I misunderstand the question?

If at least, say, half of society has some reason to exist, we can reach out to other planets and colonise the universe like an invasive species.

We’re going to do that anyway to some of the moons or planets in our solar system at some point anyway, probably.

you said that if somehow we gave humanity into fufilling an objective consistently, it’ll make humanity non-stagnant

how would you go around that

Debates aren’t so much an argument, but a conflict of two perspectives.
