Ok this is a fascinating split of this thread here to me. I think humans have infinite demand - which is why automation and the advancement of science doesn’t seem to be making our lives easier. We just do more. Take for example the fact that we feel compelled to have stuff that didn’t exist 30 years ago. Do we need it? Idk. Does it soak up our increase in productivity? Absolutely. Yeah I think it’d be amazing to live with people who have quenched the desire for new stuff. Imagine how early you could retire if you just made do with what humans thought was amazing 200 years ago.
