@LordFall How could corruption even begin to allow such a world of abundance to come about? The haves up to now have always found ways to keep the have nots in servitude somehow. That is what capitalism is based on. Everybody claims a time of abundance is coming but I don't see any way of this actually happening. Artificial scarcity will be invented and you'll be forced to keep playing the survival game even though abundance could be guaranteed for all. Even today if we really wanted to we could create abundance for all...but no, some people collect all the resources through the labour of others. That is capitalism core engine driver, Elon Musk's 1 trillion dollar pay package while all over the world over 1 billion people live below the poverty line.

CHANGE MY MIND ON THIS I beg of you. There is nothing more in the world I wish for than abundance for all.

Gotta say I agree with this - would like to see a genuine answer.

Capitalism is a beautiful system

So beautiful a system that relies on exploitation of others, capitalism is basically modern slavery. The fact that we dont have an UBI yet is laughable.

Money is not scarce, in fact it doesnt even exist. It is not tied to anything; in the past it was tied to gold but nowdays its literally pixels on your screen that could be changed at will if banks wanted. The bank lends money that it doesnt have in reserve, get that shit. People are only poor because banks want them to be poor to maintain power.

rom late stage capitalism dystopia to collective ownership of global wealth through blockchain. It is inevitable

You dont know that. You are way too optimistic about this Ai stuff and tech in general. It seems that you dont understand human nature very well.

A lot of people get sold on dreams and magical thinking from individuals at the top of the system. I wish them well and hope they make breakthroughs. But I am always looking for the grift. And the is ALWAYS a grift

Shhh, don't tell him about how money works - popping the balloon of happy ignorance
