Maybe it is just one personality type but I believe "skills" and what you do or figure out yourself is at the core of happiness and self esteem.
- The food you grow, fish, hunt and then cook taste better
- You feel happier in the house you built or refurbished
- The objects you found feel more valuables
- The music you play make you happy
- The programs you wrote work better for you
etc.
This is just how we evolved and survived until now.
This is probably why an AI / UBI society would probably make worse the problems found in industrialised / advanced economies.
