We are already living within this world of super-abundance. It's just
that people with a fearful mindset are preventing us from acknowledging
that abundance. Our socioeconomic framework can not possibly acknowledge
abundance because markets are driven by artificial scarcity.
We got 4-8 times as many empty homes than homeless people. We throw away
thousands of tons of food every day while people 2 blocks down the road
people can't afford to buy fresh bread. We are wasting millions of
litres of fuel every day because we tolerate that 85% of the working
population drives to irrelevant jobs getting stuck in traffic jams.
Likewise we are wasting most of our energy powering irrelevant and
redundant institutions, etc., etc., ...
Also did you parents not unconditionally take care of you? Why do you
think that your neighbour is fundamentally different from your family?
Do you still believe in the selfish gene?
Do you realize that some of our less fearful/indoctrinated ancestors
acknowledged abundance long before the industrial revolution, AGI super
abundance or Santa Claus machines?

I am not for any claims that anyone owns any of the life, money, time
