- Do we really have the resources for this kind of society?
Civilisation boils down to four fundamentals: material, energy, information and intelligence – none of which are in short supply. It is the current inefficient methods of use (and re-use) and perceived economic restrictions that make it appear that there are significant limitations to these resources.
See the fundamental resources page for more information on resource availability.
- How do we design machinery advanced enough to give us all of this?
See the open design and closed-loop automation pages.
