This is answered directly in the epilogue. The author states that right now we have a world of abundance quite different than the $90 million years of human evolution 99% of that. That means right now we've got a Neanderthal mind with nuclear weapons and remaining scarcity thinking. It's going to take some time to get to an understanding that we have abundance. But the quicker we make this transition the better and that's exactly where the work of OSE lies.
