- robertk 14y agoNot if you can set up a framework where physical objects are equivalent to reversible computations (and hence energyless).
- salgernon 14y agoOr we could just render the satisfaction of owning an object, rather than actually producing the object itself. (One possibility of the whole singularity thing - desire for physical objects may not be satisfied when we lack a physical existence. (For some value of singularity.))
