Thank you. OP statement is at odds with basic facts. We have nothing like the technology from Star Trek that allows for easy generation of goods or even Transmetropolitan. We have some level of current population satisfied, but even that is at a pretty high cost.
I genuinely do not understand how people can claim 'post scarcity' ( unlimited ) access to resources on a, clearly, very limited resource that is Earth.
- snowwrestler 4y agoVery simply, “post scarcity” does not mean unlimited availability of everything.
- towaway15463 4y agoThat feels like a redefinition or at least like a huge asterisk is being added. If you need a term to mean “only the basics are covered” you could do better. Post scarcity naturally implies no limits even if your semantics differ.
