Even if you claim technology and robotics will infinitely scale the lower levels of Maslow's pyramid beyond all human needs, the specialization of skills required to make them function will lead to increased centralization and monopoly to do whatever they want with the price (already happening with Monsanto and we're still relatively low tech).

Don't count on this. We are not at all far from the point where people can do DNA editing in their garage.

Hey, I'm not a farmer, I just assume we can't use any mysterious tricks to create an infinite food supply from a finite top soil, seemingly more contested fresh water supply amongst counties and states, and dwindling ocean population.  The last time we tried to farm everything in sight we ended up with "the dust bowl".

The UN is saying people should "eat insects" to fight world hunger:

We're obviously not operating sustainably here, and these R-selection groups (mostly everything that isn't a European, Slavic, Jewish, or Northern Asian) are just cranking out kids like no tomorrow.  If Anonymint wants some type of knowledge age, the K series groups would literally need to wage war on the R groups.  Otherwise, they're just going to keep reproducing until not only are the lower levels of Maslow's pyramid the only things of value, but until everyone literally dies in the process.  Resources are one of the main contributing factors to war after all, but ecological collapse is also not the greatest idea.

Most people on this forum have some kind of stupid idea about what freedom is.  Although the libertarian dream seems to be the opposite of what I think, I believe it's when the population is low enough that every square inch of land and resources on earth can't be monopolized or it is unnecessary to do so.  Only then will you have freedom.
