I wrote a whole ass paper covering all of this that got significant coverage and discussion here on HN if you search for it
https://kemendo.com/Myth-of-Scarcity.html
So I’m pretty sure I’ve got it covered. Good ideas though
I read that, and it’s one thing to advocate for relaxation over scarcity when, say, the Gini index shows decreasing inequity.
But the organized right-wingers regularly talking about scarcity. The unelected deep state DOGE operatives who have never run for office. Does contradicting the narrative about scarcity necessarily mean undermining the top billionaires?
You asked me a question, and I answered. You didn't say, "could you read this paper of mine and see where we might differ or what my blindspots are", you just gave me a throwaway one-liner that, in hindsight, seems to have been little more than a tee-up for this exact response.
I'll add said paper to my reading list, at least.
