About that radical abundance

10/9/26:

There was a video that consisted of a Ted talk about this subject of radical abundance. However, the speaker mentioned things like Limits to Growth and Climate Change. That's what you call a contradiction. Radical abundance runs counter to Limits to Growth. In other words, the dude doesn't seem to realize that Radical Abundance can never occur with a mindset that believes in Limits to Growth and Climate Change. He is engaging in double-talk, and he may not even realize it. He seems sincere about his beliefs, so if he is; his talk needs improvement.

Those who push Climate Change are interested in affordability! But they're running on it. Now that is a LIE.

If there's one thing that might topple that applecart, it is the powers-that-be.

In my opinion, it's why we don't have cheaper energy.  Look, even the campaign against global warming is a scheme to keep energy prices high.  If you doubt that, then look at the results.  Look at what they want, which is more expensive fuel prices.  The effect that they want is probably the goal that they really have in mind.  Concern about the environment is something that sounds good.  You know, there are two reasons for doing a thing--- one that sounds good and the real one.  This climate change advocacy isn't any different.

The powers-that-be have a vested interest in the current structure.  The current structure will not support radical abundance because you can't make a profit on radical abundance.  Profits require some scarcity.  For example, you cannot sell the air we breathe because it exists in radical abundance.  As soon as clean air becomes scarce, there will be a market for clean air.  Then you can package it and sell it on a market.

It all sounds rather dismal.  Well, economics has been described as the dismal science.  Goods are scarce.  It will always be so.  When it isn't, the market will cease, as there will be no longer a need for one.
