So, we've changed from having to fight to survive, to having the luxury to pursue what we like? I don't see the problem. We can specialize in one thing that we really enjoy, instead of having to do everything. If one is stuck in a meaningless job, one has to take responsibility for that and change it. In no way is society responsible for that. There is plenty of room for people to pursue their interests according to their skills.
Of course it's not perfect, but I much prefer it to your rugged individualism model.
