I want a post scarcity society where money has no meaning.
Capitalism is just a bootloader to get us there.

There will always be scarcity, it is unsolvable problem. Humans needs can't be met, people will always want more.
If everyone has unlimited access to food, shelter, medicine, and knowledge then we are left with a tiny subset of compulsively competitive people fighting each other to acquire new forms of entertainment. I would pick that world over this one.
> unlimited access to food, shelter, medicine, and knowledge
That is not the things that can be unlimited. There will always be better food, bigger houses, better medicine etc.
In the eyes of the bottom 30 (or maybe even 60) percent of humans on the planet Earth average American already has the access to unlimited food, shelter, medicine, and knowledge. But good luck to convince Americans that they have those access.
I want people like you to get your heads out of the clouds and realize that post scarcity is never going to happen in our lifetimes
Who said anything about our lifetimes?
Humans once built things to benefit society over multiple lifespans.
