Reply to comment by ajabardar1 in How will the space economy alter society? by Gari_305

>but i enjoy that you said we aren't close to a post-scarcity society, and then you say we have far more resources than we need here on earth at the same time.<

He's right on that, though. The scarcity that we deal with today is artificial scarcity.

But I disagree with him that there isn't value or opportunity with being in space.

yes that is the reason i enjoyed it. because its true, we could live in a post-scarcity society right now. but investors must be kept happy, so we don't. kind of spoiled these investors, wouldn't you agree? like babies, they are, to whom we must cater and obey, getting them fatter and fatter by the day.
