I admire your certainty, although I disagree, all we need to do is get connection with our inherent empathetic nature on an individual then societal level. I'm an optimist though.Nope.
People don't trust other people enough for that, and it's almost invariably the same people that don't trust others to not take advantage of their laxity that will try to take advantage of other people. No leisure/pleasure based society would last, because there's no friction or compliance mechanism trapping these people into lives of service. Some people need their gilded cage.
While society continues to evolve and to change and our technology continues to improve, we're still gossiping peasants talking in a town square.
