man you are seriously slow.
we know technology is not your area of expertise so ... maybe you should skip this thread.
@Rhakim .. a legend in his own mind.
gotta ask but do you understand how quantum computing works yet ..
That was the first example that helped lead me to realize that you have Asberger's. It came up again in your Covid discussions, and in nearly every other discussion I've seen you participate in here. It's even visible in how you structure arguments, which are not in the least conducive to communication for anyone other than yourself.
I have no problem with folk on the spectrum - since I went to an elite STEM school I know a lot of them, and some of them have been very good friends. I appreciate how they think and in many ways feel they prioritize better than normies do. But your issue is that your arrogance combined with your limitations leads you to project every misunderstanding and deficiency onto others, rather than being able to see it in yourself.
Do you not acknowledge that your narrow interests, pedantry, lack of social understanding, and difficulty in understanding other perspectives can often lead to misunderstandings and difficulties in correctly interpreting what others are saying? If you acknowledge that, then why do you always project every misunderstanding you make onto others and assume that they are the reason you're not communicating effectively?
this is a concept that has been discussed far and wide outside the dullard tomes of your mind.

Once again, another great example. When someone gives a perspective different from the only one you know, you assume they must be stupid, ignorant, or both. In every one of our discussions you fall back on these same insults, claiming that if I disagree with you then I either have no experience in the topic or am simply intellectually deficient. You can't consider the possibility that I've already read, understood, and rejected the arguments you're making years before you yourself had ever encountered them.
You, of course, will attempt to claim that I am merely shifting my own shortcomings onto you. The difference is that I have a lifetime of accolades and achievements granted from exterior sources which prove that your suggestions about me are ridiculous. Do you have the slightest external evidence that you don't lack certain interpersonal skills or social understanding?
no not relevant.
1. you are limiting imagination and ruling out the power to duplicate.
2. you are ruling out the rule of law. we don't need to resolve competition for a woman or a unique painting using money.
that's the point.
you have a limited imagination so sure you can't see it.
one logical consequence of abundance is no need for money. this is a concept that has been discussed far and wide outside the dullard tomes of your mind.
I first read
Abundance a decade ago, which is a rather poignant example of the mindset about the future you're describing, so I'm well aware. The ignorant commentators who wrote that book (and those who inspire the field of thinking in general) continue to be wrong about almost everything. They were already back then suggesting we were on the verge of the Singularity that would remove such obstacles (I remember one quote from the beginning of the book even suggesting the year 2013 was on some of their minds), here we sit 10+ years later and the problems of wealth inequality, resource overexploitation, and human conflict built on competition have actually
worsened over that time.
What both they and you fail to realize is that our social reliance on money has nothing to do with technological advancement, it is a function of our social conditioning and system of governance. Without very explicit intentionality, technology will never subvert social and governance norms, it will instead become another tool to those ends. People who have little understanding of social reality are incapable of accurately predicting the impact of technology on society.
Yes, we could remove money from society. No, it will not come about as a natural consequence of infinite energy. Our reliance on money is dictated by our system of government and economics, and could only be thwarted by intentional transformation of those systems, which could come with or without infinite energy.
