a zero is potentially being entirely on your own

I met some people in Alaska who were trying to approximate this.

a ten is a very modest utopia where everyone can perpetually live like a student

I guess some people historically would see it as a utopia. One's perspective changes with age and life experience. Some would find it depressing.

Most people in the world, if not the US, spend at least five days a week working to have even far less then that. I would put a true utopia, with e.g. the good parts from unlimited free energy, at a hundred or more on that imaginary scale.

Sure. I'll have that instead of the 8-ish student life.
