	Artificial scarcity ~~- primarily artificial material scarcity -~~ is a condition where in the absolute abundance of ~~energy and material wealth~~ - the distribution of such wealth is extremely uneven. There is no scarcity - there is only artificial scarcity - if one considers the principle of energy abundance embodied in the [[Kardashev Scale]]. The logic is - if there is energy abundance, there is material abundance. If there is material abundance, a possibility of prosperous society begins.		Artificial scarcity is a condition where in the absolute abundance of resources - the distribution of such wealth is extremely uneven. Material and energy resouces are abundant from [[First Principles]]. Yet the mainstream economy relies on making resources and products artificially scarce. Artificial scarcity does not only apply to energy and materials, but to the way humans work: [[Competitive Waste]] such as proprietary technology, trade secrets, and non-collaborative practices that are [[Hypernormalized]] to the point that most people in the world generally consider that 'open collaboration' exists everywhere. This cannot be claimed if the fundamental mechanisms of the economy rely on patents, protectionism, monopoly, and other foul play that limits acccess to resources.


			There is no scarcity - there is only artificial scarcity - if one considers the principle of energy abundance embodied in the [[Kardashev Scale]]. The logic is - if there is energy abundance, there is material abundance. If there is material abundance, a possibility of prosperous society begins.

Correcting the issue begins with correct identification of the issue.

	The artificial scarcity concept appears to be clear, but philosophical concepts of scarcity are complex and need to be unraveled to find a meaningful way to introduce abundance as a ~~philosophical morsel~~. Otherwise, abundance remains unsavory to the general population - as it is largely misunderstood.		The artificial scarcity concept appears to be clear, but philosophical concepts of scarcity are complex and need to be unraveled to find a meaningful way to introduce abundance as a philosophically-desirable concept. Otherwise, abundance remains unsavory to the general population - as it may remain largely misunderstood.

	Authors talk about positive and negative sides of abundance, and their relationship to 'meaning' and a 'good life'. Start with Homer's Odyssey, which was perhaps history's first abundance-hater lore. In the Odyssey, Odysseus ~~appraently~~ longs for home after he has been enjoying pleasure and immortality for 7 years, the missing ingredient being the ~~finiteness~~ of the real world.

	Artificial scarcity can apply to Non-Material goods - such as money, services, education, knowledge, etc - and to material goods. Almost all business models known to humankind, and in particular those of investment banks or VCs, rely on some form of artificial scarcity, which is perceived to create "competitive advantage". This is opposite of the notion of OSE's [[Collaborative Advantage]] that is inherent in the OSE [[Mission]].
