Edit: Changed title to be more accurate.
Also here is the summary from Wikipedia on what Post-scarcity means:
Post-scarcity is a theoretical economic situation in which most goods can be produced in great abundance with minimal human labor needed, so that they become available to all very cheaply or even freely. Post-scarcity does not mean that scarcity has been eliminated for all goods and services but that all people can easily have their basic survival needs met along with some significant proportion of their desires for goods and services. Writers on the topic often emphasize that some commodities will remain scarce in a post-scarcity society.
Capitalism won’t overthrow itself.
It’s collapsing by itself but I don’t think that’s fast enough. (And a hard crash will mean a lot of trouble, we need a transition)
And for the accelerationists in back - no, a crash doesn’t imply anything nice will come later. We could end up back at feudalism.
– Buckminster Fuller
Do you see any clear paths forward for a transition?
Someone else on this thread mentioned parallel structures and that is probably what is going to be needed.
Side topic, how did you get your username to do that?
Edit: It was @[email protected]
Yeah, I read his take and yeah I agree with need that, thats not going to stop the billionaires from killing us though 😔
Username: I edited the DB directly on my Lemmy instance with Zalgo text. I also set my join date to somewhere far off in the future 😋
Ooh I like that idea.
Do you use your own instance for browsing? Does using another instance for browsing mean your own instance does less caching?
Yeah I use Sync for Lemmy connected to my own instance that myself and friends use. I have a VPS that I run it on, and it catches everything I’m subscribed to, it’s the only instance I “browse” on. I have accounts on other instances which I’ll fall back to if I CBF hosting Lemmy anymore.
I see, thanks!
