It’s not clear what you mean by “our culture” but humans in general struggle to have meaningful lives without feeling like they are contributing.
The Native populations in America and Iceland have some of the worst suicide rates because their cultures way of producing goods and food was supplanted by government benefits.
But there’s no need for them to contribute. The meaningful contributions they make are not going to be compensated, and their compensation is unrelated to labor. The jobs are pointless.
Perhaps, I’m just pointing out that government free cash to hang around and do whatever isn’t an actual solution for 95% of the people. Most aren’t artists/makers oppressed by their jobs.
