Dragonlich you say people need to work ? Of course they need to work to survive. If by technology we escape that work isn't that a good thing ? Then do whatever you want, party all day.
I can't understant what luxury you would want that you could not get with your free time. You underestimate yourself. If you gather more people that want the same thing you can have anything, even a space ship built. The impact on the environment of people getting what they want in this way will be far less than what we see today where we must destroy the earth, to have stuff to sell, to throw it in the garbage, then buy it again, else we have no job and so on.
If you seek servants - impersonal servants working for you to survive, you won't find any in my system. Nobody says you can't have your friends cook for you , but nothing like a servant which has too cook or does not get money/food.
Look at the american indians. To tell another one what to do was very rude for them. Strange concept.
Maybe you think you are entitled to servants and luxury because of your knowledge or because you work more. No you are not. As long as there are people that can't find a job, and people that can't get your education you can't say "they are lazy, they don't deserve what I get". If everybody would have a job then yes you can be "entitled".
In my system everybody could get all the luxury he wants, or live in the woods if he is "lazy"
