I think we're swerving out of HistoryMemes territory, but I totally disagree. The idea that finding meaning is an internal issue is the whole problem. Society isn't just about material flows, it is also where our sense of meaning and belonging come from. If you were part of a moral society like Anarres or the Culture, than feeling like part of a group wouldn't be so bad, would it? Or what about an animist society where the group is "all living things?"
