An interesting thought experiment, really.
But when I read:
> the ability of technological advancement to do "more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing"
I add the footnote: "Terms and Conditions may apply" :)
The blind spot of the idea is: limits. Should it be rephrased "eventually you can do almost everything with almost nothing", I'd have dropped the "thought experiment" label.
