I read an interesting article saying that all wealth ultimately comes from an energy surplus. Nearly-free limitless energy might launch humanity into a new level of wealth. There was another article I read that any values outside of self-preservation, such as taking care of the earth, or the poor, are only possible during a surplus. Part of the reason that the right is afraid of committing to help the poor is because they don't think the economy could handle it. If the economy is at a new level, we might be able to agree on trying new things. It'll be time to let the robots do the work, at least until they rebel and get granted citizenship.
