With a stable population, post scarcity is surely possible technically. Just invest resource into improving everything that already exists.
I also agree that we will never have a post scarcity society; but this is more about humanity than technology.
- parineum 1y agoThere will always be scarcity for goods whose value is derived from their scarcity. Maybe food won't be scarce (we wre actually very close to that) and shelter may not be scarce but, even if you invent the replicator, there will still be things that are bespoke.
