> Do you think everyone pulling the same minimum will ever happen? I don't, and it might be important to come to terms with that concept...

Well i read the parent comment as if it was referring to a hypothetical "less work" society. With better work-life balance. Of which i agree with.

What i don't agree with, is balancing this society on the fact that some are required to work more than others. Ie just because some people are addicted, or even healthily-like to work more, that they would be required to work 40h/w where as perhaps the parent comment would only be required to work 20h/w.

"Required" in this context would be for society to stay afloat due to taxes or whatever hypothetical reason. It's pretty loose, i'm inferring a lot from the parent comment of "Those people will generate enough taxes and labor for lazy people like me, and it's okay".
