Almost anyone learn anything they want now. This all cuts both ways.
If security is a solved problem then anyone that wants to teach themselves enough can move to trying to solve disease, until disease is solved, then we all move on to building enough robots to mass produce enough food to solve world hunger and shelter... and once the needs of everyone on earth are solved at an ever cheaper price until it is free... then I guess we do whatever we want.
Only way to earn a good living is to pivot to solving diseases for a few years until robots solve world hunger and shelter. Then we can do what we want without the money to do it?
Doubt any of this is going to happen.
Most positive changes in this world happen because of the tiny subset of the people delusional enough to believe they can do so that also happen to be correct.
I feel like trying to better humanity, even if I fail, is a better use of my time than simply saying nothing can be better and giving up. At least by failing well, at worst, the next delusional person can carry the work forward learning from my mistakes.
It is going to be a slog, likely over multiple generations, but one worth the climb.

I want a post scarcity society where money has no meaning.
Capitalism is just a bootloader to get us there.
There will always be scarcity, it is unsolvable problem. Humans needs can't be met, people will always want more.

I want people like you to get your heads out of the clouds and realize that post scarcity is never going to happen in our lifetimes
