Entropy Rising

Post-Scarcity: When Nothing Is Rare, What Matters?

22 Sep 2025

Description

What happens when scarcity disappears? In this episode of Entropy Rising, Jacob and Lucas explore the idea of a post-scarcity civilization — a future where food, energy, and even housing are so abundant they stop being economic factors. But does abundance guarantee happiness, or does it create new problems?We break down the levels of post-scarcity (from basic survival to simulated utopia), question whether inequality and control still exist in an age of abundance, and debate the biggest paradox of all: if nothing is scarce, what still gives life meaning?From Star Trek’s replicators to Black Mirror–style dystopias, we’ll dive into the promises and dangers of a world beyond scarcity — and ask whether humanity is ready for it.Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/EntropyRising?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkSupport the showWebsite: https://www.entropy-rising.com/
