Exactly, but people see work for other people (or money) as the source of all meaning instead of work for themselves and their places. The loss of meaning isn't because of loss of jobs; it's because the creation of exploitative society as a separate existence from Nature destroyed human sense of contribution to our place and each other. Our entire picture of economics has been backwards since the first city walls were built. I'm not trying to imply that we should be destroying cities (not the worst idea these days), but that we need to rethink everything that smacks of consumptionism and competitive extraction of resources, as well as unquestioned activities that don't contribute to the future of the environment we depend on.
