I missed the part where he says that wealth is limited. Doesn't he says that wealth creation is a positive-sum game (I.e. 1+1=3 thanks to automation and leverage), as opposed to status which limited and its pursuit is a zero-sum game? Wouldn't that mean that wealth is unlimited?
- exabrial 5y ago> Most of the wealth in civilization, in fact all of it, has been created. After re-reading your comment, I realize I think I misterpreted this sentence. He's not saying the total future value has already been created, he's saying the past value was worked for
