The long history of scarcity amid plenty does deserve examination. Critical examination.

How messed up is it that people not only have to beg for the privilege of work, but that they are seen as selfish, thankless, and incompetent for doing so?

Once humanity gets this sorted out -- and it will, eventually -- the present state of affairs will be looked at with the same contempt that people in today's world have for feudalism. It will deserve every bit of it.

Could you explain a little more explicitly what you are referring to, and what you think the solution will be?
