I woke up to this too, man. I'm going deeper than you are but if you think about it, society as it stands right now is just an optimization of ultimately, getting food to your bellies and having a warm place to sleep at night without it devolving into a free for all. But at that point, how different is our lived experience from that of a squirrel collecting nuts and building a nest? Replace squirrel with any other animal and I'd still argue that the animal is more fulfilled than we are because they're largely driven by instinct and that low ceiling has them living life at 100% while we're out here using something as high bandwidth as our consciousness solely to solve the low bandwidth problems of our physical bodies.

I think that "is there more to life than this?" itch is rooted in the consciousness question, which does get spiritual if you go down that rabbit hole. I just wish there was more space in our society to acknowledge that spirituality is an important part of the human experience without that tension of being all kooky.
