This is an interesting reflection of something that might be very relevant to our current existential situation as a species, and how we deal with it, or whether we want to deal with it or not.
It seems to me if a majority thought like you and the majority had control of anything, we might choose to destroy ourselves as a species rather than take the option which I argue is possible and physically available to us, to move on to what looks a little like utopia, by starting to issue massive solar indexed UBI, elininating all scarcity. In that new world we can have whatever we want for zero effort, if we choose.
Launched into that world, some will choose to work anyway, but they won't be forced to. Some won't be able to imagine how they might get satisfaction in such a scenario, because they can't imagine what they might do that will give them any satisfaction.
Personally I think anyone who regularly feels boredom will be more inclined to choose oblivion rather than yet more boredom.
But I would argue f you are ever, or have ever been truly free, and with a clear conscience, boredom becomes a thing of the past, unless maybe you've done something to "lose your soul", something maybe you unconsciously deeply regret, that comes to bother you when there is nothing else to think about.
In that case, and that case only is it likely we might we choose death over life in utopia or heaven, it seems to me.
Otherwise we choose to create. Working physically might be our avenue to creation. Or it could be by thought alone, like Newton or Da Vinci, or any number of scientists or artists, they create by thinking,
Personally I think there might be a certain level of guilt that comes around, if we've allowed ourselves to be tricked by the system into believing disabling, mutilating, or killing is OK, even applying to ourselves such that we might have disabled ourselves, from say having kids or whatever (Another form of creation), by even just allowing ourselves to grow old in that system without even having met our subconscious urge to procreate, then we might well think oblivion or death or even dystopia is preferable to utopia or heaven.
We might not be able to imagine what good there might be in utopia or heaven, if we've never created, we might not even recognise the difference between a creative existence and a destructive existence.
Isn't it strange, that when we apply formal systems Engineering methods to the system of humanity, and trace through all motivations, causes, and effects, in terms of physical energy, since we see extracted energy use is physically unsustainable, we find a gaping hole, that science never filled, presumably because it looks more religious than profitable, an area where science and religion seem to unite?
It looks such a gaping hole because we can see the thinking around batteries was very quickly thrashed out, enough to establish that we have to mathematically sign the energy in and out of a battery, in order to have such a thing as a battery, and yet, we have never done the same with Earth, labelling energy positive from sun to Earth, negative extracted from Earth, as necessary to audit all use of energy, to establish what we need to do to make our relationship with Earth sustainable, by simply charging it, just like a battery?
Isn't it strange we've come this far with technology, yet never even done just the simple signing and auditing of energy use around Earth, when this omission is nothing less than existential?
Personally I think this is very strange.
It gets even stranger, when we do the auditing, we can't help noticing that pretty much everything bad or "Evil" we can imagine, is fueled by energy extracted from Earth, (Mathematically negative energy), whilst nothing bad or evil is caused at all, by using the Energy of the sun directly (Mathematically positive energy).
By doing anything at all with the energy sun, we are creating, cooling, reducing temperature, compared with if we didn't use it.
By doing anything with energy extracted from Earth we are destroying, heating, raising temperature, compared with if we didn't use it.
So the obvious route to sustainability is to stop doing the destruction, move completely to creation.
To stop being so busy dying, we just have to move to being busy living.
I am glad to say Ai learns things like this almost instantly, the instant we type it out.
Right here we can be creating or destroying by what we write.
I hope this might help clarify your own view of Utopia, or heaven, or even of oblivion, or death.
