I disagree too, we're past the point of where scarcity was the biggest problem, we alredy have enough for everybody but people lack financial literacy and governants lack competency and incentives to make a better system, in terms of politics we're close to doomed almost everywhere since democracies have the incentive to spend more and more public money and taxes have been raising a lot for the past 100 years

I'm curious to see where we'll go, feels like a transition period

I just hope we arrive in political systems with more freedom and agency for people than systems with more authority

The major problem is not the lack of resources but the failure of the government to equitably allocate the available resources for the good of every citizen. I used to assume that there was no corruption in the developed world, but I was wrong. From the few years I have followed the economic news of some advanced countries, I discovered that corrupt practices are also prevalent in such societies. The only difference with most developing nations is that politicians there are more corrupt and don't care about the basic needs of the people.

Maybe there might be a revolution that will bring in another system of government because democracy has not been effective in some countries. In my location, there has been a rise in military takeovers.

sorry to hear about the raise in military takeovers in your location. if conflicts scale the situation can get tough, that's way having a higher optionality of exit (like with extra passports) helps a lot nowadays
if there are humans there'll be greed
maybe some countries will be able to punish corruption better than others but it's really common everywhere, built-in in the system
