Come on, get real. If people had all of their needs covered a lot more of them would sit around getting high and playing video games than perfecting their art.

Perhaps some, but why is that a problem? There are already people who do this.

I would perfect my video gaming art. Teenagers in their basement would fear me after school.

And how far would that get one doing that? 1, 5, 10, 40 years?

Is that not better than the current alternative where they're forced to become grifters?
