Most people are still running scarcity scripts from a world that’s already obsolete. What’s happening right now (in AI, in energy, in materials, in biology) is the shift from allocation to creation. But our political and cultural systems were built for managing scarcity: who gets what slice, not how to expand the pie. When those systems meet exponential tech, they panic. They see threat instead of possibility. The tragedy is psychological: if you believe the world is zero-sum, abundance looks like chaos. But if you believe intelligence and coordination can grow, abundance looks like the next stage of civilization.
