We’re already a post scarcity society by the way an ancient peasant would measure it We have so much food available that it’s a problem that poor people suffer from eating too much It’s easier and more convenient to throw electronics, clothing, and furniture away than to bother repairing them I wouldn’t bend over to pick up a quarter, even though it could buy me a day’s rice or flour Once we’ve moved industry into space, we could well be ten or a hundred times as wealthy as this. Maybe employment will only be something for overachievers in that distant future
