I'm sorry to put it so crudely, but this doesn't make any sense. It does not cost more in 'communication' to convey a better idea. Moreover, communications cost is marginal, so even in an very theoretical scenario in which 'more economic activity requires more communication' - it's not applicable. "And if you're talking real economy, then we're talking actual real resources which are even more finite and scarce " Again this is completely false. Education, Entertainment, Legal Services, Financial Services, R&D - i.e. 'Services' are the 'Real Economy'. The 'Value Add' provided by applied intelligence is considerably greater than the raw, natural resources economy.
