>Well when you have replicators and automation to do all the work, you have more time to focus on other things.

The problem is, business models will probably bill you for time of use while you rent-out your replication.

Technology is great, but as long as their implementers seek profit over ideals, there's a pretty big obstacle to your utopia.

That's fine, though. Put down a basic income. People can live reasonably as they like, and then work on top of that because people get bored. Putting down a BI isn't going to stop people from having money; you're still going to have venture funding. Let someone take a risk on your idea. You deal with all the snafus and shenanigans of today, except neither of you are risking life itself. Worst case scenario, you live comfortably without having achieved anything.
