I would love to live in a society with material equality on a sufficiently hight standard

This is probably more restrictive than you think or would like, much like the case of social equality (depending on your definition of material inequality).

Good point. On reconsidering I'd probably want something like a basic income guarantee, where everyone at the very least get enough resources and energy to maintain a healthy immortal Homo Sapiens classic body indefinitely. Actually probably a bit higher than that now that I think about it.

People are always saying that, yet what they mean by "basic income" keeps increasing as their living standards increase.
