https://kemendo.com/Myth-of-Scarcity.html

So I’m pretty sure I’ve got it covered. Good ideas though

You asked me a question, and I answered. You didn't say, "could you read this paper of mine and see where we might differ or what my blindspots are", you just gave me a throwaway one-liner that, in hindsight, seems to have been little more than a tee-up for this exact response.

I'll add said paper to my reading list, at least.


Definitely not a tee up cause whether you read it or not it’s fine by me just a follow up since you took the effort to write it out

If you want the deeper math then read my GTC paper


I read that, and it’s one thing to advocate for relaxation over scarcity when, say, the Gini index shows decreasing inequity.

But the organized right-wingers regularly talking about scarcity. The unelected deep state DOGE operatives who have never run for office. Does contradicting the narrative about scarcity necessarily mean undermining the top billionaires?


That’s up to the masses. I’ve done what I can so far and so far its working
