We all know this is the scarcity age. 

That's interesting. I was gonna say, Scarcity Age was 5000 years ago. But which is really more scarce?

@Leo Gura It's a nice reconceptualization when you think of some nomads in the tundra actually having more than enough of water in the form of snow, energy in the form wood and food in the form of thriving ecosystem.

Some did, some didn't. It really depends on the time and place. And also the political situation.

My dude we are still using dead plants and metals to keep the lights on just like we did 5000 years ago.

Just because we got more more dead plants to power us doesn't make it any better. This is still the scarcity age like 5000 years ago. Nothing has really changed. Pathetic state of affairs.

The bare minimum is nuclear fusion or harness the energy of sun. Until then it's sticks and stones all the way.

Maybe it wasn't scarcity 5000 years ago.

No lights, no problem.

Relax, there will be no AGI or AI or fluffy robots to sleep with, for the trivial reason that intelligence is a property of consciousness and consciousness is the nature of reality and you cannot simulate the nature of reality. One characteristic of intelligence is the bringing of new ideas into existence out of nothing. For this you need reason, free will, etc., not atoms bumping into each other like in a computer.
