Superabundance is within reach. But ironically, the precondition to getting it is by giving it up. It sounds paradoxical, but this is actually the key to the next great leap in human evolution. I set this out with a rigorous scientific framework in my new paper on the Planetary Phase Shift.
I’m not sure I’d phrase it as the precondition to getting it is giving it up. I think the precondition is a shift in our values and as you describe the Organizing system of society. We already could provide pretty reasonably close to abundance with today’s resources and outputs, we just don’t organize it that way. To get to super abundance we need to be both focusing on building up different forms of production and winding down worse forms. It’s not giving up on abundance of everything, but abundance of a toxic fossil fuel focused energy system
