An interesting corollary to extrapolate is that even a billionaire today might have a “destitute” living standard according to people hundreds of years from now. It’s fun to imagine why that might be.
- abraxas 4y agoIt's easy to imagine a utopian future where aging and mortal disease is conquered, climate change and sustainability are figured out and molecular machinery can produce any consumer level products in an instant at trivial cost. In such a future (if it ever comes) a Bezos or a Musk is a pauper with no access to such transformative inventions.
