What part of post-scarcity don't you understand? Money doesn't matter. Post-scarcity.

That would be a pretty huge departure from how we currently create and transact anything of value, so I’d say I don’t understand that.

Nothing to be ashamed of tbqh. Post-scarcity is the type of thing that will probably give everyone nowadays nightmares and existential ennui.

Imagine life where the guy bumming on the street and the guy working hard at his craft are both contributing the same amount in the long run because there is more than enough to keep everyone living comfortably, with no need to actually compete.

In fact, I imagine the trauma of the paradigm shift could very well break a generation or so adjusting to it.
