    that would be arguing that i am speaking as if everybody’s needs have been met NOW

    But that’s exactly what a world of abundance means.

    Having an over abundance in one part of the world and scarcity in another isn’t a world of abundance.

      You’re so close to realizing wherever humans settled had enough to sustain civilization. It’s the plundering, wars, genocides, privatization of national respurces that cause the scarcity.

        You do understand that “had” is past tense, meaning that we do not currently have it, right?
