The biggest reason that the Easterlin Paradox isn’t a paradox is to look at what has changed the least: Human biology and nature have changed very little throughout the centuries of progress, especially with reward, so there is no real paradox in that more stuff doesn’t cause the brain to update on that nearly as much.
So progress studies need to get genetic engineering, nanotechnology, whe brain emulation and more researched more.
