What are your thoughts?
How are people going to find fulfillment?
Yeah, I would say two things.
One, humans are very resilient creatures.
I assign a high degree of probability that we will figure out a positive outcome, even in the world of radical abundance.
And then two, that world of radical abundance is probably a meaningful number of decades away.
And so it likely will not be our problem.
Maybe it'll be our kids' problem to figure out.
So in the meantime, let's focus on what we can control and
Indeed.
Yeah.
First and foremost, I'm no geopolitical expert and I'm not going to try and pretend to be, but I'll talk about the more general things that play here.
If you look at the improvement in the standard of living that we've seen in the past 250 years, all of that has happened because of technological innovation.
Before, like if you go from 0 AD to like the 1700s, the quality of life was poor and did not improve.
Life expectancy was 40 years.
90% of people lived in poverty.
90% of people were illiterate.
Infant mortality was very high.
And these things only started to improve during the late 1700s, early 1800s.
And then through now, where we have life expectancy of over 70, nearly everyone is literate.
