Reading Antifragile by Nassim Taleb was eye-opening for me. I turn to the concepts of the book whenever I feel unsure about a decision or opinion.

How could they possibly take all of anything in a POST-scarcity society?

[-] severien@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Post-scarcity society still has to be backed by something. In the novel, it's 3d printers. If you have more 3d printers than others, you can use it to produce weapons to capture even more 3d printers from other people, making them scarce, and thus introducing scarcity again.
