You may be right. I certainly hope so.

But I doubt you can point me to an example of your theory working out in practice. We have lots of subgroups in society where this lifestyle of the future is the norm, though generally at a lower material level.

About the time there is little need for much human labor it will be possible for someone in their basement to 3D print a modified mumps virus to sterilize billions of people. Some unemployed environmentalist or other libtard, sentient computer needing more energy, or other enemy will put a hopefully peaceful end to the growing population of useless eaters. Failing that, the usual method of reducing an unwanted human population is war.
