@Mschatelaine @davep @cstross @Phosphenes @mwl It's such a waste of effort. We're using the tools that could be used to create economies of abundance to uphold economies of scarcity, and it's just not necessary. I can;t find the link, but there was a paper from October 2025, that showed it would only require 30% of Global GDP & Global Productivity, to provide a good baseline quality of life for everyone on our planet. Than we could get on with exploring the rest of the solar system. :D
