The Economics of Abundance (Discord Swarm)
Details
If we handle technology wisely - nanotech, biotech, infotech, cognotech, and more - we could soon reach a global situation of sustainable abundance for everyone.
That's an idea which provokes many reactions. Some people say it's a deluded utopian fantasy. Some say it's irresponsible to even entertain the idea. Others wonder about practical aspects: what might happen to the economy, to finance, to human communities, to democracy, to scarce real estate, to the environment, to the human sense of meaning, and so on.
That's what we'll be discussing in our next Discord Swarm, taking place from 7:30pm UK time on Wednesday 11th February.
The discussion will be led and facilitated by David Wood, Chair of London Futurists, who will share an initial set of slides addressing this topic:
The Economics of Abundance: Achieving it and Sustaining it.
The conversation will take place in the Voice channel of the London Futurists Discord.
