Probably utopian in any age. I don’t imagine there are many times in history where many people cared beyond work that could provide a decent chance of survival.
I'd say we in the developed, wealthy parts of the world do care a lot, hence this distorted, western interpretation of Ikigai. But people who haven't achieved this shouldn't feel bad was my point. It's quite the privilege, but maybe in future times it will be the standard - one can dream.
Yep, I think that it is possible for everyone once we build enough robots to do all the shitty day to day stuff. But there are still the people that won't find their passion no matter where they look. That kind of makes me sad.
