Interesting writeup. I worry that the transition may be more violent. Will those who are driven to have everything be happy if anyone else has anything? I don't know. What makes some people who have tens of millions hunger for billions? I only posed the question because I'm curious what other people's thoughts were; I think we need a fundamental shift in how we allocate resources when the production of resources is relatively decoupled from labour, which in some regards it already is.

Incidentally, if you find subcultures that place a high degree of value on the horse interesting, you might like this:
