I've got a few designs in mind for an alternative to scarcity based economics. I don't presume to have it right, but its worth a shot and its a bit more concrete than blind trust in one technology or another. I thought it would take my whole life to just lay the foundation, but with some AI help, maybe not.

The trouble with you naysayers is you always take as immutable things that we can change.

We could have had meaningful post-scarcity economics in 1968 (read Murray Bookchin). It is not a technological problem. It is a social problem.

That's a false dichotomy, technological advancement has been solving and causing social problems for as long as there has been technology.
