From a technical standpoint almost everything is feasible, but if you're expecting rich and/or hard-working people to throw into the air all their efforts (and lose power) to build an utopia: keep dreaming. And not to mention the human aspect of it all.
His ideas imply that everyone who can't help the system (non-engineers, etc) can dedicate themselves to arts, etc. Can you see how much power the engineer class would have over everyone else? I'm mean, sure, I'd like to think that in a system like that we wouldn't have to worry about subversive elements because everyone gets their fair share. But it's pretty easy to see that beautiful utopia turn into a system similar to China. (And no I'm not saying the current system is any better.)
Don't get me wrong, I like his ideas but they're not for this day and age. Maybe in a very distant future society will live in something similar to what Jacque Fresco envisioned.
Thanks for commenting on this, I agree with almost everything you said, but I think that we should start taking at least some of his ideas seriously, because the way our world is going right now is totally disconnected from reality, it's unsustainable, and because of the way humans are organized today ( in rival countries ) we waste a lot of resources in nonsense if you ask me, for example the usa has a 600 billion military budget, if such money were put in research instead of making weapons that kill fellow humans efficiently, I really can't imagine what we could have accomplished, we should at least get along, and stop wasting money and human ingenuity in such nonsense.
