There’s a difference between “more than I thought I could get” and “as much as I want”, though.
My point is that the concept of “post-scarcity” is meaningless. It only seems meaningful because our intuitions conflate the two, or rather the amount of something someone wants at any given time is just a little more than what he thinks he can get. Of course, once the amount he thinks he can get changes, the amount he wants will also change, but at the time the amount he wanted really was that small.

I don’t believe that. People even before modern times talked about living forever.
