Mutually assured abundance is a state of civilization, achievable at any point on the Kardashev Scale - when society gains a basic level of Self-determination. This implies the end of Artificial Scarcity. Artificial scarcity is defined as the poor distribution of material wealth. Today's civilization lives in a state of artificial scarcity: where in the absolute abundance of natural resources and energy (we are currently at Kardashev Scale 0.0001) - the distribution of the economic product deriving from these natural resources creates great disparity of wealth. This is a result of Structural Evil, but sociologically, may be defined more specifically as human frailty. Ignorance, post-truth, low self-esteem, and fear remain as the generic psychogical state of most people, resulting in politically manipulable societies that give rise to dictatorships.
This is a state opposite of the notion of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) - in that Mutually Assured Abundance eliminates the safety net that is presumed to be found in the doctrine of MAD.
