Humanity evolved in a world of scarcity and we live in such a world now. We know that a lot of stuff is rare and therefore valuable. We know that none of us can have everything we want. In a post-scarcity world that will not be true any more.
How will we live in such a world? How much will we eat, or use, when everything is free? What will we do with our time when work is no longer needed? When so many things we now think of as normal, like driving or cooking or cleaning, are no longer necessary?
Would you like to live in such a world? Do you think it is an impossible world? Will there always be a few things that are rare and hard to acquire?
Come and join us in GeekSpeak at noon SLT on Saturday to talk about a world without scarcity. Bring all your robot friends!
IM Vulcan Viper, who teaches a meditation class every Wednesday in the GeekSpeak auditorium, if you have ideas for new subjects.
