I never said it was an easy problem to solve, or one we’ve had success with before, but damnit, someone has to give a shit and try to do better.

Literally nobody’s trying because there is no solution

The fundamental unit of society …the human… is at its core fundamentally incapable of coordinating at the scale necessary to do this correctly

and so there is no solution because humans can’t plan or execute on a plan

The likely outcome is that 99.99% of humanity lives a basic subsistence lifestyle ("UBI") and the elite and privileged few metaphorically (and somewhat literally) ascend to the heavens. Around half the planet already lives on <= $7/day. Prepare to join them.

FWIW, you'd probably be able to buy a lot of goods and services for $7/day, if robots were doing literally all the work.
