    We’re playing on much larger time scales than generations. The last couple hundred years are a single play in this game.

      I don’t buy that time will make it so that socialism becomes the norm. I can see us destroying ourselves first, or turning, even an absolute, post scarcity world, into one with only artificial scarcity, to continue making a profit, and solidifying class boundaries. Just because something is easily possible, better, and more productive, doesn’t mean it will happen. We will need to work to change how the world thinks to make the future sustainable.

        I was thinking about the society of the constructed beings that succeed us. We didn’t evolve for the world to come, and the only way to keep up is to transform. AND ROLL OUT!
