1 seems achievable by automation. We already see that farming is done by a tiny fraction of the people that were necessary 100 years ago, and it seems feasible that most manufacturing is automated in another 50 years or so.

In your analogy, both people can redeem their coconut voucher if they've built a robot that gathers the cononuts.
