The irony of it

If the premise is that abundance negates a sense of specialty, making everything ordinary, thereby antiquating the need for mundane endeavors to maintain existence does human life itself not become worthless?

There is already somewhere around 7 billion people currently living. If they all became philosophers, scientists, and engineers wouldn't scientific, philosophical, and engineering progress accelerate at a pace far beyond what people would be able to safely understand and implement?

If true progress could happen completely unhindered would that not become the new paramount issue?

Also, who defines "productive"?

For a documentary so highly rated I'm astonished there isn't any discussion taking place here about it.
