We already live in post-scarcity thing(don't know if it is utopy or dystopy, but for some people it's former while for some later, for some reason I think dystopy have higher population), but the surplus of production is destroyed/put into landfills(with police security so no one can steal it from trashcan).

there's zero way we are anywhere near a post-scarcity society today.

We still have to drill for oil and gas, mine for iron, and hope the weather is still good enough to grow crops.
