First thing though, the scenario analysed here is a scenario where there is not enough thing to contribute to.
Let's imagine that everything can be done through a computer and only a few million developers worldwide are required to program the machines. Do you want 10 billion uninsterested people fight to get the job or only the motivated ones ? If there are 2 persons for 1 job, that is stupid to chose the one that hates it and just want to be home doing something else.
Secondly, considering that our whole economy is driven be consumption ( nowadays, there is virtually unlimited amount of money available on the investment side ), so a guy consuming the whole day is playing a bigger part in society than a guy working 12 hours a day and saving his money.
