RE: Will Money Be Missed In A Post Scarcity World?
As ever, your comments are sparking more musings within me! I like the fact that you drew the parallel between money and time. Indefinite time and no basic needs will most likely have a very similar effect on society, it's interesting to wonder whether we'll be motivated to do anything anymore.
After all fame is linked to fortune, I've never met anyone who just wanted to be famous and remain poor. Also in a world where we can upload a physics PHD directly into our brains, will discoveries be seen in a new light...?
I think we'll all be dancing Tango in our own ways, hedonism will likely become the driving motivator for human life.
Hmm, more musings coming on methinks!
Cheers to you too! :-)
An interesting thought! Maybe in that world, we will also be able to upload into our brains an AI that makes discoveries.
This also expands on your articles about AIs and humans - we might not be too inferior to "independent" AIs if we can also boost our brains with "nonindependent" AIs.
Looking forward to more musings! : )
