Humans are built to enjoy feeling productive.

Sounds like justifications for the Protestant work ethic that had to be socialized into us at torture-point. Stop trying to keep your cogs. "The chattel, they yearn for the menial factory line! They yearn for the cotton gin! They ache for feeling like they produced something!" They could make art, they could spin your culture; but we both know that's not what you're talking about.
