Let's sit on a couch and let's do an arm-chair philosopher thought experiment to come up with some types of abundance and what their logical conclusion is:
| Type of abundance | Logical conclusion |
|---|---|
| Time | immortality |
| Labour/manufacturing | Santa Claus machine, home replicator, more robots |
| Intelligence | AGI |
| Energy | Power over Nature, space-fairing civilization, who knows what is hidden in a energy-rich technology tree 👀 |
| Alternative realities | personalized Matrix |
| Meaning, positive states of mind | much less suffering |
| Money | nada, money is just a database for resource allocation |
Conclusion?
We need more developed technology, not money per se.
