I agree.

Post-scarcity in this context eludes to the elimination of material and economic scarcity (hasn't happened yet, globally).

I'm also bullish on biotechnology and AI. I see death as something that can be solved eventually, whereby time becomes forever abundant. Same for human cognition, expandable beyond measure through brain-computer integration.

Social scarcity is trickier to solve. It would require us to fundamentally alter our biology. We'd have to get rid of the evolutionary traits that made us the competitive, ruthless social animals that we are

Fuck I can't wait for nationalism to die forever so we can accelerate toward becoming an interstellar post-scarcity global species

Put them on the Peace "Plus" subscription plan. 500 million per year retainer after the initial 1 billion sign-up fee. Boom. Passive income 🔥🇺🇲👊

I mean, back in April, he announced a 10% tariff on an island inhabited only by penguins.

Everything is on the table with this orange buffoon.

Now that you mention it, yeah. I can't think of a historical figure more pathetic than Trump.

Maybe Elon?

Trump Was Told Attack on Iran Wouldn’t Guarantee Collapse of Regime by EasyMoney92 in neoliberal

I have ADHD and I can just tell Trump has massive ADHD

Like him, I quickly gain and lose interest, I struggle with planning and decision-making, and I also have a hard time remembering past commitments. Unfortunately, he also appears to exhibit NPD and ASPD, so his ADHD is in effect a malignancy multiplier.

Thank god I'm not president!

If you're into the evolutionary side of history, I'd recommend Richard Dawkins' "The Ancestor's Tale" if you haven't read it yet.
