A World With No Scarcity? ..

This question was brought up at class by our teacher. I think that in a world with no scarcity technology would be used in a more proper way, we would not have any limitations on wealth and we would not need money! Yes, it does sound pretty cool and fun right? SURE! Who would not enjoy having no limitations on the wealth that today is centered on few people? Or that we do not need money because we lack of nothing? But also, I think that we would take LESS care of our world than what we do now that we DO have scarcity!

Though, I think that it is completely possible to get to have this wonderful world having a resource-based economy as Mr. Jaques Fresco refers to it! I did a little research on this topic and I found out that there is a project called: The Venus Project. This project wants to fight all the modern problems of our society, being crime, replacement of humans by technology, violence, the decline of Earth´s ecosystems, over-population, etc, etc .. by doing an active reseach, developement and application of the workable solutions at their research center located at Venus, Florida. Through the use of innovative approaches to social awareness, educational incentives and the consistend application of the best that science and technology can give and offer to the social system directly. Also, it offers a plan for social reclamation in which human beings, technology, and nature will be able to coexist in a long term, sustainable state of dynamic equilibrium. For this project they used the ceteris paribus, which we saw in class! Check it out: http://www.thevenusproject.com/. I found it very interesting and it has a really good ideal of the world :)!
