    To be fair, everyone that’s promised some sort of post-scarcity anything has 100% been on the side of exploiting people and was just saying that as an empty promise to exploit people harder. Works the same for everything from apartheid to socialism, and everything in between. That promise, without fail, is never, ever, ever ever met. 100% failure rate. Gullibility is a flaw of the masses.

    People need to understand that anything that leads to a post-scarcity world will not be the found via that sells the idea to you. There’s a 100% failure rate there. It’ll be the one where it just sort of happens because people were working together in the first place towards just not shitty stuff all the time, and then post-scarcity just sort of ended up in reach.

      This reminds me of open source code and Linux. It all started because someone was irritated by a shitty printer made by a shitty company that wasn’t interested in making it work well for all of their customers.
