Having to find meaning in a solved world is itself a difficult puzzle :) I agree the current world has many problems, and when these problems no longer exist, we’ll have the new problem of not having meaningful problems. But I just consider this a new, interesting meta-problem to work and reflect on.
One can argue that the current problems (curing cancer, ending wars,...) are theoretically solvable but that the future problem of no meaning is inherently unsolvable. I am skeptical, though—we haven’t looked into this problem enough, and historically many “fundamentally unsolvable problems” were eventually solved.

Ah, but the same entity that solves all the other problems will solve that one, too. So maybe I shouldn’t be concerned after all.
