Book - Enforcement of Artificial Scarcity
From Open Source Ecology
- Abundance is a natural state. Such as an apple tree.
- Humans have introduced a powerful novel force - artificial scarcity.
- it is enforced with violence. Monopoly, war, cartels, patents, etc.
- Insight - it is a pervasive mindset that limits possibility
- It is not supported by first principles of nature and physics - 3000x more poweris available to people than we use. This is abundant. But not if we rely on stores of energy. We must use reusable energy.
