Not sure if you buy into the technological concept of "The Singularity," but a few years back, the whole concept of "exponential technology" was taking off, and people saw each new technology (3D printing, DNA/genome mapping, artificial intelligence) as being "exponential" in nature. Meaning that instead of steady, incremental gains each year, we'd see 10x, 100x and 1000x changes each year. Anyway... a really smart guy named Peter Diamandis (of X Prize fame) built on that concept of exponential change in the tech space to describe a new world of ABUNDANCE. in fact, he even wrote a book about it in 2012 - https://www.amazon.com/Abundance-Future-Better-Than-Think/dp/1451614217/ - it's all about how all these emerging technologies will progress so fast and so rapidly that they will change the world of scarcity forever to create abundance. These "abundant" technologies will help to solve problems that have troubled humanity for centuries. It gives me hope that scarcity thinking will eventually change to abundance thinking.
