@MaruZenunim @chaosprime post scarcity is the realm of those who REALLY don't get economics
@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 -
@chaosprime IMO most cannot even reason about existential threat a la Bostrom. Outside personal scope, it seems. @MaruZenunim
