Any game you play has cheat codes. Do you use them? If not, why not?
In a post-scarcity world we get access to all the cheat codes. I suspect there will be many people who use them and as a result run into the inevitable ennui that comes with basing your sense of purpose on competing for finite resources in a world where those resources are basically free.
There will also be many people who choose to set their own constraints to provide some 'impedance' in their personal circuit. I suspect there will also be many people who will simply be happy trying to earn the only resource that cannot ever be infinite: social capital. We'll see a world where influencers are god-kings and your social credit score is basically the only thing that matters, because everything else is freely available.
