@MaruZenunim @chaosprime post scarcity is the realm of those who REALLY don't get economics
@NotTimothy ooh, that's an interesting assertion. say a little more about that? @MaruZenunim

@chaosprime would love to be disproven tho - economics is called the dismal science for a reason @MaruZenunim -
@NotTimothy not wrong, i think Banks is right that when material goods are sorted, attention and association are the economy @MaruZenunim -
@NotTimothy but you also might be missing the point that that's a much more pleasant and humane economy @MaruZenunim -
@NotTimothy i don't think it's unreasonable to just read "post-scarcity" as "post-material-scarcity" since that's all it means @MaruZenunim -
@chaosprime as such i just think the scarcities change firm to attention, time, and other meterable qualities @MaruZenunim -
@NotTimothy yeah. i guess whether that's an improvement depends on whether people act more reasonably absent survival risk. @MaruZenunim -
@NotTimothy unfortunately what we see about humans' capacity to recalibrate their problem perception seems to argue your point. @MaruZenunim -
@NotTimothy i.e. afaict the worst problem a given human has is treated as an existential threat, including if it's a hangnail. @MaruZenunim - 1 more reply

@chaosprime IMO, there will always be conflict on where to invest next, be it minerals, time, energy, etc. Scarcity continues @MaruZenunimThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
