It's not wealth itself, or technology itself that makes humanity degenerate. It's when wealth or technology disconnect us from reality. We need signal. Purpose is not something we have to create or find. It's inborn. We have telos, both collectively and individually. The problem is losing signal and our ability to sense our purpose. The kind of abundance we create with new tech is going to depend on what kind of money we have. That's the point of Bitcoin. Honest money is access to signal. The twisted view of what we will do with technology you hear from our elites is a mirror of their own twisted values and the veil of unreality created by fiat. The fully automated luxury communism they envision is not a real possibility, thank God. It would turn out to be a horror show. Not because technological abundance is bad, but because their framework is. Elon is in the business of selling dreams to perverted fiat financiers. They can fantasize about conscious machines and robots on the moon, but they can't conceive of honest money or not treating the us like cattle. I give no credence to their visions. They don't see the future. They are lost. We can get back to reality and out from under these delusional people without throwing technology or it's benefits away. Take heart.
