@baajis is talking longer term, as 3d printing tech improves, over an extended time-period, raw materials + joules are the new scarcity right. design ingenuity is scarce and costly, but replicable in a FOSS non-DRM world.4 replies 2 retweets 18 likes -
It can't work as joule is not a fungible unit. A joule value depends on the location where it is consumed.

It's utterly silly. If joules were the measure of value, we'd all become splendidly wealthy by flying spaceships into the sun and immolating ourselves.

hmm, isn't it just duration pragmatic 20 years, vs sci-fi what-if hundreds of years flights of fancy. super long term, humans or their augmented evolved descendants may yet build a dyson sphere to power the super computers need to switch our reality to the digital domain.

You seem to have introduced a wrinkle. It's jot just joules, but high time preference vs. low time preference joules.
