I wish we lived in a society where all basic human needs were provided, to give people an opportunity to just engage in culture instead of being so focused on the future of consumption

I agree that our society could deal with less of a focus on consumerism, but the problem that wishing that all basic needs were magically provided is that you cannot get around the fact that someone needs to do the providing.

I think that the most realistic way forward to get some of the same benefits is for us to start reducing the length of the work week, certainly to 4 days and possibly even to 3 days.
