We're a long way from a post-scarcity world. In the meantime, I want to be able to pay my mortgage. Even if we had the blueprint for one right now and a blueprint for robots that could make everything 1000x faster than humans, we're still talking decades because it is going to take time for concrete to set and for molten steel to cool and for all kinds of other construction/manufacturing processes (limited by the laws of physics) that will be on the critical path to building whatever it is that brings us to post-scarcity. And even if the technology exists, how do we make sure we have a Star Trek future instead of a Star Wars future? Technology is very useful for improving living conditions, but you can't invent your way out of the need to organize and advocate for justice. We already have the technology to feed the whole planet today, we just don't do it.
