But are we right now or ever really happy specifically?

Happiness is always fleeting. Aren't our lives a bit dystopian already if we need to do work and for what reason? So that we can possibly feel like we are meaningful with hopes that we don't lose our ability to be useful.

Our lives are imperfect, but that doesn't make them dystopian. Some people hate their jobs, but I strongly believe that most people, especially men, would be utterly miserable if we felt unnecessary. You see this today, even, with many young men displaced from the economy and unable to find jobs or start families. A world in which humans are no longer needed in the economy will be inherently fragile, as I believe most people would go out of their way to destroy it
