    Look around you: The future is already here.

    A point I've been at pains to demonstrate for some time.

    http://www.amazon.com/Abundance-Futu...Than+You+Think

    The book's four main points are:

    1: Technologies in computing, energy, medicine and many other areas are improving at an exponential rate and will soon enable breakthroughs that today seem impossible.
    2: These technologies have allowed independent innovators to achieve startling advances in many areas of technology with little money or manpower.
    3: Technology has created a generation of "techno-philanthropists" (such as Bill Gates) who are using their billions to try to solve seemingly unsolvable problems such as hunger and disease.
    4: The lives of the world's poorest people are being improved substantially because of technology.

    So the benefits of this future are becoming more distributed in direct proportion to the exponential growth of personal freedoms and expanded choices worldwide: http://www.amazon.com/Army-Davids-Te...army+of+davids


    But, as usual, you get to be just as downtrodden, cheated and unfulfilled as you choose, who am I to force you to become that which you won't?

    Oh it's been obvious for ages that you're delusional meanderings relate more to a society where everything is scarce as fuck.

    So go there. Burn your money and live your dream.

    Quietly.

    Somewhere else.

    I don't need to read drivel twice. In fact as you rarely provide anything else I probably don't need to read yours once.

    Then you have been wrong for ages. That's a fact I've known for ages.

    Pre-ceding, as in, something to follow on afterwards. That correct prefix you were looking for was anti-scarcity, or perhaps pre-bounty; or maybe just post-scarcity, Ocean still has the right of it you see.

    He doesn't, because he doesn't understand my position... and obviously that means neither do you. Pre is my prefix of choice. I thought the analogy of utopia would have clarified that... given that you say we share an understanding that is.

    We don't share the conclusion is all.

    Ocean clarified what you meant the first time, it's fine.

    You have a problem with a study that hasn't been done yet?

    Is there no beginning to your intelligence?

    Just like the flag discussion and the TPP discussion and the smacking discussion and and and and all of those other discussion papers that just discuss stuff?

    I do for the vast majority of my day... thanks for your concern.

    Other than it being at minimum 50 years too late? and that the only proposed solutions are legislation? Yes, I do.
