It was fun trying to explain the concept of post-scarcity to someone who hasn’t seen Star Trek. Like with every sentence you realize that the technology isn’t going to be the problem at all. It will be, and always was, the people.
“Everyone, yeah everyone is taken care of, but everyone still wants to work. No, no one wants to exploit that. I mean yeah, there is trade, ofc. Well, but you still have everything for your basic needs. No one is trying to fuck over their common brethren. Well, mostly.”
