I just want to tell that absolute scarcity is true in a thermodynamic sense, but that isn't necessarily relevant to human experience since we are just a tiny fraction of the universe. So what matters instead is the concept of relative abundance and scarcity. If there are very few humans and lots of resources to the point where they can't be consumed at all, you get relative abundance from the viewpoint of humans.
I say this because I have seen a lot of people that argue absolute abundance cannot exist and they equate abundance with absolute abundance.
